[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 262269, member: 4850"] theres tons of life left because crispr and human genome sequencing is an ethical regulation matter that will take a long time to become a thing. the technology is proven to work, sure, but whether or not everyone will get to use it is another matter entirely. its hard enough to get MRI scans available to the public and thats something we've had since the 70's. we are finding cures to diseases sure, but have they eradicated disease? no and far from it. we've invented some high tech implants but has it eradicated denturism? far from it. if we find a way to create digital dentures will it eradicate endentulous patients? lol ? in the same way crispr editing MIGHT eliminate some patients prone to caries but its not going to eliminate the entire sugar industry, poor hygiene, violent sport, or corrupt dental professionals who will cut healthy patients looking to get that hollywood smile. the very idea that this industry revolves around merely caries is ludicrous and narrow. how many thousands of new materials exist now as technology has grown into cadcam? how many new kinds of prosthetics have blossomed with the advent of implantology? what kind of industry has ever killed itself as a result of the development of any single new technology? it was decades before enough people and businesses bought cars before the horse industry died. it was not overnight. even IF crispr saves billions of patients from being patients in the first place, theres still 7billion people to treat, and by some accounts there will be in excess of 1billion fully edentulous patients in the next 10 years. crispr cant change that.
