Some time ago I read an article about a woman over 100 who sudeenly grew new teeth, and that it was the first reported case of something like that happening.
I dont know if this is true* (i also would have to find the article again) but i remember that a friend of mine told me (back in 1997) that in Bosnia he had a neighbor who was 115 years old, and she too grew a third set of teeth, he described these teeth as "cat like teeth". Back then I thought this was not possible, but now I think he was right.
Is there something important, lifextension related we could learn from this?
Does anyone know more about new teeth after the age of 100?
As far as I know all the teeth we have are allready there in our jaw when we are born, the first set's roots are "eaten" by white blood cells and the 2nd set breaks through, so where does the third set grow?
The Jaw is fully formed and there is no space left anymore, right?
Could this be something that remained from a long time ago when some ancestor (ape like or other) had to grow a third set of teeth to survive?
Ideas?
*If it really is the first reported case
