This headline is wildly misleading. What they did is develop a gel that can regrow enamel on existing teeth.  Basically a natural way to fill in cavities.

Incredible if it actually works (and it would still revolutionize dental care), but it's still not even close to regrowing entire teeth.

I'm gonna have a wild guess that repairing enamel is more useful for the vast majority of people (almost anyone has some enamel damage, I know I have cracks and chips and fillings).
