Science has successfully triggered growth of third set of dormant buds in various animals; various human trials are working their way through the process: https://dentistry.co.uk/2026/08/18/tooth-regrowth-in-adults-...

Fingers crossed we can start doing something like this and reduce overall use of gory hack and slash techniques (even still I assume not all cases will be able to avoid it).

very interesting- I wonder though, after taking TRG035 would you start growing a complete set of new teeth? And surgeons would remove the undesirable new ones that would crowd existing teeth? Removing all of your teeth in anticipation of a whole set of new ones seems absurd lol

		Yeah is why I hedged with "something like this". There's all kinds of wild shit showing real results not just theorizing, in regenerative medicine; who cares about programming computers when we could have healing factors. I wanna program my biology. If I rub my tongue on the top of my mouth a certain way I want to taste purple. Embed neural patterns for kung fu to speed up muscle memory development. Hack my matrix. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GiL6wtg3U0I
