I guess it does bring new meaning to the phrase “eye teeth”.

You don't need horror movies with such science.

I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's teeth

Oh, it's your own teeth they use. That answers one question.

Or at any rate with such headlines.

We've adopted the more neutral subtitle now.

The title should be edited. It's missing the main part which is that the tooth will be implanted in the eye of the patient, not left in their mouth.

It's nothing like as as grotesque as the headline makes it sound. Worth reading.

Suggested headline: "Surgery implants tooth material in eye as scaffolding for lens" or something like that?

Apparently the title was edited since I posted it—it was originally about the same as the article.
