minimcmonkey 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2008 Wow thats cool.but is that just an eception? does anyone know?it is known that things like being bald can potentially be cured, as the gene for growing hair or whatever needs to be turned (back) on. Yet scientists cant yet do that, they know there is a way though.Maybe, if it were true that humans grow another set of teeth in old age, it would be possible to create drugs or hormones or something, which would trigger this to happen early, for people who have very bad teeth, or people who have lost their teeth.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 27, 2008 Most likely an impacted tooth, (some people grow entire new sets-genetic mutation and quite rare). Could also be some enviromental factor (heavy metals/radiation do funny things with the body like newborns getting a third teste)Not so shocking though scientists are growing new tooth (not roots though) with lipus ultrasound like they use for bone fractures to heal. Also stem cells can do any and every thing you want them to do. I seriously want to go volunteer as a research specimen in a stem cell facility. I want new everything and wouldn't mind winding up looking like the creature from alien. -reply by gkjghh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
