You may or may not remember the reports of scientists in the UK being able
to grow teeth

reminder : http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13078381,00.html etc

Any idea if this will be happening or what? Could be the greatest invention
ever (i may need it!)

It was already done at USC it involves stem cells and special
scafolding (you still need to crown these).
It will happen.
No one has yet figured out how to package this.

depends on the tooth, and how the scafolding is placed.
I do not know the details.

maybe 2-3 years but I could be wrong.
