Regrowing teeth

I learned of this years ago and I’m very

glad to see it becoming a reality

Japanese researchers, led by Dr. Katsu Takahashi, are poised to conduct the world’s first clinical trials of a groundbreaking tooth regrowth medicine at Kyoto University Hospital. This innovative treatment targets the USAG-1 protein, which naturally inhibits the development of a third set of teeth that humans possess but rarely develop.

The research is grounded in evidence suggesting the existence of dormant buds for a third dentition. Approximately 1% of individuals exhibit hyperdontia, characterized by the presence of extra teeth, which researchers believe represents this third set. In animal trials, the medicine demonstrated remarkable success in generating new teeth in mice, ferrets, and dogs, without causing significant side effects.

Currently, Phase 1 trials are underway to assess the safety of the medicine in healthy adults with at least one missing tooth. Phase 2 trials, scheduled for 2025, will focus on children aged 2 to 7 with congenital tooth agenesis. If successful, this treatment could revolutionize the dental landscape by offering a “third choice” alongside dentures and implants for individuals with missing teeth. The potential public access to this treatment is anticipated by 2030. 👈

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
