Got teeth? Great news! Scientists have created a synthetic tooth enamel they claim is stronger than actual human teeth. To develop it, the team needed to replicate the interconnected nanowires of ...

Beyond repairing decay, the gel can be applied directly onto exposed dentine (the sensitive layer beneath the enamel).

Welcome to the future of dentistry, where scientists are in a high-stakes race to regenerate every part of your tooth—dentine, enamel, root, and even the nerve tissue.

New biomimetic coating regrows natural enamel in minutes Restored enamel is stronger and smoother than before Potential cure for enamel loss and dentine exposure Tooth enamel is the hardest substance ...

For all the cool regenerative tricks the human body can do, it’s kind of weird that we only have one shot at tooth enamel with no way to get it back. That may be about to change, as researchers at the ...

I'm all-in on breakfast smoothies right now. They're filling and easy to make before logging into work, and I try to pack mine with good-for-me ingredients like green veggies, flaxseeds, and almond ...

Tooth enamel is one of the hardest tissues in the human body. It acts as a protective layer for our teeth and gives our smile that pearly white shimmer. But when enamel erodes, it can’t regrow itself.

Researchers have investigated the importance of the Notch pathway for the evolution of tooth morphology. Mutations in this signalling pathway can lead to defective structures in tooth enamel. Studies ...

Nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral diseases, yet 90% of these conditions are entirely preventable through proper daily care. What’s particularly striking is that tooth decay remains ...

Magnesium-rich: an atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy image of an enamel crystallite looking down the long axis of the crystal. The dark areas show magnesium ions forming two ...

Brushing your teeth can stop more than just plaque buildup. It can lower your risk for dementia and other diseases ...

Scientists at UC Davis have tested a new method for determining the sex of human remains based on proteins extracted from tooth enamel. Based on a study of 55 Native American remains dating between ...
