can human science and technology grow new set of teeth ?
for example , for those who have too many decayed tooth. in a long time surgery process ,doctor pick all decayed or maybe some health tooth ,and  by genetic ,cloning ,nanotech or any other means grow new set of teeth .
already ,i saw in web . japanese scientists did some thing like this for a mouse
they put something like seed in mouse gum and grow a tooth !
is it really true?

hey it costs more to have my cats teeth cleaned than my own teeth. i also had a rat that needed its bottom front teeth trimmed on a regular basis because of an overbite so i can imagine the mouse people lining up.

Now people are going to be taking their pet mice to the dentist and saying "Could you please give my mouse a root canal?"
