A MACHINE that makes teeth grow back could be on market within two years.
The tiny ultrasound device fitted into the mouth where it gently massages gums to stimulate growth from the root.
Inventors intended it to help repair fractured or diseased teeth, but it could be developed to regrow teeth which have been knocked out.
Eventually the same technology could be even used to grow bones, raising the possibility that people could make themselves taller.
The system, developed by scientists at the University of Alberta, Canada, is wireless and controlled by pocket-sized remote carried by the patient. It needs to be activated for 20 minutes a day four weeks for noticeable results.
