Are they ever actually going to deliver this or is this some long running joke? I've seen this kind of announcements for decades and yet nothing ever came out of it.

The work being done on it in Japan at the University of Kyoto claims they would have an actual product by 2030. I don't know how much of that time frame is going into making it vs getting it approved for use.

I hope they actual deliver. Dental care is still the equivalent of wooden pegs.
