  Lab-grown teeth could offer alternative to fillings and implants, scientists say
  Scientists in the U.K. have developed a new material that may allow them to grow teeth in the lab, which could provide an alternative to fillings and dental implants someday.

• One of my upper teeth became extremely painful, and I was in agony. Finally, my dentist discovered a crack, so the tooth had to be extracted.

• I was scheduled to receive dental implant, but careful analysis of X-ray image revealed that the thickness of my bone was only 8 mm. The dentist explained to me that there is great risk of complication such infection because the drilled hole would penetrate into the nasal cavity if the bone thickness is less than 10 mm. Also, the success rate of dental implant after 20 years would be only 70 %.

• If you plan to start clinical trial of the lab-grown-teeth technology, I would like to volunteer for beta test. I am willing to travel to the U.K. for the procedure, and I will sign any consent form, liability agreement, etc. No problem!

• Thank you very much for your attention.
