This is true in the short term, but drugs and treatments can get cheaper over time, whereas implant dentistry is intrinsically expensive in a way that’s unlikely to ever improve.
@Ertebolle "The tooth regrowth medicine is intended for people who lack a full set of adult teeth due to congenital factors. "
So, not likely to solve the problem of tooth loss through lack of dental care :(

Both PLA and PET are food safe but I wouldn’t use them for long-term food related stuff.
The surface of a print contains thousands of valleys, nooks and crannies and other hard to reach spots that serve as ideal breeding grounds for bacteria.
@apemint presumably, you should brush those teeth too…

They do also talk about the potential to activate a latent third set of tooth buds in humans who have lost their adult teeth. They seem to have already done this in animals.
