Man, the titles for this story keep getting worse.

The drug is currently intended for people that pretty much never had teeth. When/if it passes human testing, there's still no indication it's going to be as effective on adults that have lost teeth. This is barely out of animal testing anyway, so it isn't like there's some certainty it will work on humans, or do so safely.
