Awesome. I always thought it was unfair that sharks get unlimited teeth while we are limited to two sets.

Interesting that the treatment is intravenous. I would have thought it would need to be injected locally. I wonder how they ensure that teeth grow only where there are missing teeth, or control what type of tooth grows at a given position?
