Researchers in Japan Discover Medicine Capable of Regrowing Third Set of Teeth for Humans
Scientists are working on a clinical trial of the medication and hope to have it ready for general use in 2030
Lead scientist Dr. Katsu Takahashi of the Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital in Osaka, Japan, has been studying the genetic principles of tooth development for years, and the researchers’ latest findings follow up on a 2021 study (published in Scientific Reports) that showed how medicine targeting the protein synthesized by the USAG-1 gene could impact the number of teeth grown in animals. Dr. Takahashi and is team have now shifted their focus to humans.
The scientists have announced a clinical trial of the medication and have set a goal of having it ready for general use in about five years, according to several reports.

Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 5 Years
- While bones can regrow themselves when they break, teeth aren’t so lucky, and that leads to millions of people worldwide suffering from some form of edentulism, a.k.a. toothlessness.
- Now, Japanese researchers are moving a promising, tooth-regrowing medicine into human trials.
- If the trial is successful, the researchers hope the drug will become available for all forms of toothlessness sometime around 2030.
