this posted article said the trial is being done on 2 to 7 year olds

Huh?

Now, scientists will see just how similar, because humans will soon undergo a similar trial in September of this year. Lasting 11 months, this study will focus on 30 males between the ages of 30 and 64—each missing at least one tooth.

Need a better source.
