- Popular Mechanics is like Popular Science right? Extremely bullish on new technologies to the degree of taking one study and turning it into a breathless article about how we're 1 year away from flying cars?
Sorry for the cynicism, but I grew up subscribing to Popular Science and I gained a very jaundiced view of this kind of science/technology popularizing
- Unrelated to the growth topic, but related to teeth.
5 or something years ago I read here, on hn, about novamin/biomin and started to buy toothpaste with it.
Since that I had 0 cavities, even if my toothcare routine isn’t the best: most of the time I brush only in evening and when I had severe clinical depression episode I could go weeks without brushing.

- Confused a bit by the article: it mentions human trials began in september 2024, but also that the trials that might prove it working are yet to start?

- BugsJustFindMe's Law of Headlines: Any headline that uses the words "May", "Might", or "Could" is equally true if those words are replaced by "Won't".
- This is like fusion energy. It's been 4 years away since I've been a child.
- I've been hearing this for as long as I can remember and I'm not young anymore.

- Aren't the shape/size/placement/etc. of human teeth fairly unique across different individuals? At least unique enough to use dental records to identify bodies.
I don't see if mentioned in TFA, but if new human teeth can be grown is it expected that the new ones will just grow in "correctly" to fit a person's mouth?
- Great idea but I'm sure it will be for the rich.
- Let’s hope teeth won’t grow in places they shouldn’t.
- Old news. They were doing this with ultrasound successfully 20 years ago. I know a guy who a tooth back with his own device.

- Same like curing baldness, every 5 years there's a new medicine which doesn't work.
Teeth are orders of magnitude more complex than hair follicles.
- Growth rate and how you don’t mess it up before it matures are problems

- I've been taking vitamin k2 mk4 at 45mg a day for over a year now. My teeth feel gr8. Now I need to get some of this stuff to have super human chompers.
