New Clinical Trials Aim to Enable Human Tooth Regrowth by 2030

Summary
A new scientific development suggests humans may be able to regrow teeth within the next four years (by approximately 2030). The article explains that while bones can heal and regrow, teeth lack this ability despite being the hardest material in the human body. Promising clinical trials are underway that could redefine dental restoration, potentially allowing humans to regenerate lost or damaged teeth.

· 4 pulledThe average adult human body contains 206 bones—the hardened mixtures of calcium, minerals, and collagen that provide the biological scaffolding that walks us through our day.
If they do break, they have this nifty trick of regrowing themselves.
Teeth, however, are not bones.
Although they're made of some of the same stuff and are the hardest material in the human body (thanks to its protective layer of enamel), they lack the crucial ability to heal and regrow.
