Yeah, that did look really interested when I saw that yesterday. I remember hearing some of the researchers from Pitt say that they were working on something that sounded pretty similar. I guess the real question is how well you could place the tooth, or what type of tooth would it be, but I'm sure researchers will probably be able to hammer that out sooner or later.
