NO: It is a myth. Once the teeth are lost, we can only get dental implant or denture, unless technology about tissue cloning develop such that a tooth can be clone and implant into our jaw in the future.

A thing ?: You can always have an artificial set of teeth fabricated after you have lost your secondary teeth.. They are made by your dentist.

Internet Trash: This trash on the internet belongs in the same category as the world is coming to an end in 2012. We got past that right? We get one set of primary (baby) teeth and one set of permanent teeth. Some individuals may get a single supernumary (extra) tooth- a few at most. No third natural set to count on.

Natural teeth, NO: At this time we do not have the scientific ability to make new natural teeth. What you heard was probably speculation that perhaps in about 100 years we will have the ability to do this via cloning and/or stem cell technology. For now the best thing to do is take good care of the teeth you have. If you do this they could last you until you are 100 and you won't have to worry about replacements.

Dentures: The only new set of teeth one can get after the age of 100 is a new set of dentures.
