There is a study underway in Europe to implant altered cells from your own body into your jawbone where a new tooth and bone structure will then grow. They've gotten it to work in animals, and say it'll be available to humans in 5 years.
The way they are attempting this prosedure is illegal in the US since it technically involves human cloning.
So over here we are working on ways of growing the teeth outside the body first and then a method to implant them would be used. American scientists say their method is 20 years away.
So by banning human cloning here in the US, as you can see we are already lagging behind in certain studies. Nor would American's be able to utilize them should they be a success elsewhere in the world.
Americans would have to go to another country for proper medical treatment. That is, if the US Government didn't ban traveling for this reason.
