Based on this prior research in which local topical application of USAG-1 silencing RNA resulted in tooth formation.

This study will determine the viability of applications for cases of tooth agenesis, where teeth do not develop in places where they should.

This medication may also have applications for the regrowth of lost teeth.

Can I get extra teeth? Can I get some teeth on, like, my hand?

Go look up teratomas (do not look up teratomas) if you want to stay up wracked with horror for we are trapped in bodies from which there is no escape.

Seriously though, teratomas are real world body horror, often benign tumors that start growing random human tissues. Don't look them up unless you have a strong tolerance for body horror. Or just want to punish yourself.
