Scientists from Japan succeeded in developing a groundbreaking drug at the end of last year. This medicine allowed the teeth you had lost to grow back. The tests on animals were successful.

Now it has been announced that the most important step regarding the drug will be taken. Scientists have announced that they will soon begin human testing.

It will not be widely deployed until 2030 at the earliest

According to the statements, human experiments with the teething medicine It will officially start in September and will continue until August 2025. During experiments to be conducted at Kyoto University Hospital in Japan, he lost at least one tooth. 30 men aged 30-64 years it will include.

After eleven months of testing, the drug will be tested on people who do not have at least four teeth due to a congenital dental deficiency, which affects an estimated 1% of the population. These participants are between 2 and 7 years old. Later this will be expanded to people with 1 to 5 missing teeth. So it will be tested on all kinds of people suffering from the condition.

*Tooth regrowth has been observed in ferrets (fourth row from left).

Experts will test the effects of this intravenous treatment on human teeth. Mice and ferrets In the experiments conducted last year, it was found that it showed no side effects. It is a matter of great curiosity whether the same results will occur in humans.

It is thought the treatment will bring hope to people who have lost their teeth. Katsu Takahashi, one of the researchers, also said about the drug: “We want to do something to help people who suffer from tooth loss or denture. “Until now, there was no permanent treatment.” he said. Scientists say the medicine will not be commercially available until 2030 at the earliest They think it will be released.

This drug, which can help many people around the world, especially the elderly population, deactivates the protein USAG-1, which suppresses the formation of new teeth. By preventing the interaction of USAG-1 with other proteins, new tooth growth can occur.
