Canadian Scientists Regrow Teeth

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the throw-out-your-toothbrush dept.

54mc writes "APL reports that Canadian Scientists have created the first device able to regrow teeth and bones. The researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton filed patents earlier this month in the United States for the tool based on low-intensity pulsed ultrasound technology after testing it on a dozen dental patients in Canada."

    until they prove it on these (currently) toothless specimens:
    1. The Justice dept. (SCO vs IBM)
    2. The anti-trust dept. (MS vs US)
    3. Other suggestions welcome...

    We can grow teeth now. Next step, growing teeth in places not the mouth.

    Now all those nightmares I have about a woman with teeth in her vagina are going to come true.

    Thanks a lot Canada!!
