A tooth implanted with the revival pill.
The revival pill was a counteracting agent to the fake death pill, which was used to bring the user back from a state of "false death."
Function
Taking the revival pill caused the user's body to secrete stimulants, like noradrenaline and other chemicals such as naloxone, which block the effects of the fake death pill.[1] It was implanted within a hollowed-out molar tooth and had to be used within a certain amount of time to prevent actual death.
Usage
Operation Snake Eater

Both the revival pill and fake death pill were developed by the CIA, circa the early 1960s, for its agents in the field. FOX operative Naked Snake was provided with the revival pill during the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater of 1964. Snake would use the pill to revive himself from near-death, during his encounter with The Sorrow. Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov presumably utilized the revival pill after he left Groznyj Grad via a fake death pill that he used during his torture session with Colonel Volgin, when he faked his death with The Boss's help.
