The article implies the third set disappears in adulthood.
- cloudier 3y agoThanks for pointing this out — I actually assumed the linked article was a different one[1] which implied that the third set could replace dentures: > When treatment of teeth is no longer possible due to severe cavities or erosion of the dental sockets, known as pyorrhea, people lose them and need to rely on dental appliances such as dentures. The ability to grow third-generation teeth could change that. "In any case, we're hoping to see a time when tooth-regrowth medicine is a third choice alongside dentures and implants," Takahashi said.
