Can SCIENCE receive your teeth grow rear?
you know like with a shark transplant or something close to that
if not, how long before we can do this??
Answers: Every single daytime, your mouth goes to battle beside teeth-eroding bacteria. Basically, as the bacteria devour at your teeth, the recalcification process rebuilds. Xylitol in gum and the fluroine treatments dentists make available annually help facilitate recalcification, although I don't suppose you meant this when you needed teeth to grow back.
Human-animal transplants are extremely difficult. The mammal-fish transplant offered by you wouldn't be worth the amount of immunosuppressant drugs you would have to help yourself to.
My best bet would be stem cells. However, the most advanced in tooth rebuilding is currently getting dentin-producing cell to grow on a lattice in an already existing tooth. The difficulty of stem cell-guided tooth rebuilding is a) getting the stem cell to grow the type of cell you want in need turning cancerous b) getting cells to build a complex structure such as a tooth. So far, this is not yet doable (the anti-cancer clause is a real kicker--the stem cells that don't differentiate can efficiently kill you...). In addition, the focus will be on Parkinson's and heart disease fairly than on dentistry. With America's anti-stem cell research policies in mind, I'd estimate at least a century earlier a commercially availabe way to regrow teeth appears on the market. (Think around it...we can't even regrow bald pates yet...)
No, not all the same, but maybe someday.
