In a significant breakthrough, the world’s first drug that can regrow teeth has been approved for human trials later this year.
There are some 206 bones in the human body, all of which are pretty resilient.
But if they do break, they have a handy way of fixing themselves so that we can get back to normal.

And while teeth are made up of a lot of similar elements seen in bones, they don’t unfortunately grow back and repair in the same way.

So, if you’ve ever damaged your teeth before, it would likely result in an extraction, which for one is very painful, and two, means you’ve lost your tooth.

The experimental drug developed by Japanese researchers is set to begin with human trials in September, and will include adults who are missing at least one molar.
Katsu Takahashi, the head of dentistry at the medical research institute at Kitano Hospital who are running the project, said: “We want to do something to help those who are suffering from tooth loss or absence.

“While there has been no treatment to date providing a permanent cure, we feel that people’s expectations for tooth growth are high.”
