Hot tech. As a comment on the blog points out, this thing briefly hits 15000k under your skin, 3x hotter than the sun!
The cyberpunk back-alley clinic where you'd have something like this done will give you a piece of leather to bite on at no additional cost.

#22Clever, they'd need to get it right first time though. If it throws a flub you'd need surgery to get it out.

#25I had to go to the dentist’s yesterday and while looking at some pics I thought the idea of literally screwing in an implant tooth in your gum to be pretty damn crude, primitive even. It would be cool if we could inject some artificial 3D printing thingies in the gum that feed on nutrients from your body and slowly create a new tooth as programmed beforehand. Such robotic thingies could also be used to build new bone…
That roughly follows some proposed applications of stem cell therapy. Why invent a nanomachine swarm when we are all nanomachine swarms?

#30those cavitation bubbles should be able to destroy cancer cells too. I.e. probably can be used instead of radiation and proton "knives".
