Delivering what has been so challenging to produce, researchers present an engineered analog of tooth enamel – an ideal model for designing biomimetic materials – designed to closely mimic the ...

Researchers have created a bioinspired gel that can regenerate tooth enamel by mimicking natural growth processes. The fluoride-free material forms a mineral-rich layer that restores enamel’s strength ...

An innovative gel that forms a layer over teeth and then recruits calcium and phosphate ions from saliva to build new enamel has the potential to change dental treatment. To date, we don't have any ...

Scientists created a new protein-based gel that can regenerate damaged tooth enamel The material mimics a natural process to regrow enamel mineral structure inside holes and cracks This technology ...

Nature Communications has just published a discovery that could transform our approach to dental care. British researchers have developed a gel capable of regenerating tooth enamel, that protective ...

A team of scientists in London may have found a way to repair tooth enamel using an ingredient found in an unexpected place: human hair. Researchers at King’s College London experimented with keratin, ...

The study presents keratin as an eco-friendly, biomimetic alternative to traditional fluoride treatments, which can only slow decay, but not reverse it. "Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body, but ...

Teeth can tell us a lot about the evolution of prehistoric humans, and our latest study of one of our species' close relatives may finally resolve a long-standing mystery. The genus Paranthropus is ...

The breakthrough could come to the aid of a problem affecting many worldwide and at a time when ingestible fluoride, a mineral that makes tooth enamel stronger, is under question in the United States.
