47: Lantern Bioworks plans to produce a genetically modified mouth bacterium that will outcompete your normal mouth bacteria and eliminate cavities (conflict of interest notice: my wife consulted on a version of this project).

Lantern Bioworks says they have a cure for tooth decay. Their product is a genetically modified bacterium which infects your mouth, outcompetes all the tooth-decay-causing bacteria, and doesn’t cause tooth decay itself. If it works, it could make cavities a thing of the past (you should still brush for backup and cosmetic reasons).
