I found articles about it dating back almost ten years, yet still nothing seems on the horizon despite most papers saying it's on the horizon.

I'm afraid what you'll get here is more of the same. I looked up an article on peripheral nerve regeneration from fat cells (my damn paraesthesia!). It droned on and on about exciting results... until I realised it was all experiments on lab animals. I work in a biomed company (not directly involved with the biology stuff, however). My takeaway from it is that progress is a matter of massive amounts of trial and error experiments - just brute force to find stuff that works.
I'm afraid we need another World War to see rapid progress in medicine.

great stuff.
Lazlo:
also good stuff is you scroll down to how stem cells are used in periodontal generation.
guys this stuff has been experimentally demonstrated to work. It's around the corner, trust. me. I've reading a lot on this stuff now and it works.

This is coming soon too. And it's proven to WORK. Guys the future is bright, just give it around 5 years. And we'll look better and younger with real new teeth!

Lazlo:
Another technology that is shown to work. Would love some help deciphering the language here. How much improvement was achieved?
