Is there any advantage of this over implants? Maybe I don't understand the full scope but this seems really roundabout when I have a ceramic implant and it works fine. Maybe a regenerated tooth lasts longer?

Implants slowly erode the jaw bone underneath over time, whereas a new tooth would keep the jaw bone healthy.

Oh ok, that does sound promising if the regeneration works as intended. Thank you for the insightful answer Mr. WashedAnus.

Natural teeth roots promote bone regeneration around them, while implants don't. Therefore bone loss with age is worse around implants
