Scientists have perfected hydroxyapatite, a material for mineralizing bones and teeth. By adding a complex of amino acids to hydroxyapatite, they were able to form a dental coating that replicates the ...

Tooth enamel can be restored by adding a complex of amino acids to the mineralized material hydroxyapatite, discovered through joint research by scientists at Ural Federal University, Voronezh State ...

Researchers at Zhengzhou University in China have made a significant breakthrough in dental health by developing a fluoride-free gel that can restore lost tooth enamel within a fortnight. This ...

Electron microscopy images of a tooth with demineralised enamel showing eroded apatite crystals (left) and a similar demineralised tooth after a 2-week treatment showing epitaxially regenerated enamel ...

Fluoride in toothpaste has been shown to strengthen tooth enamel, making our chompers more resistant to acids from plaque and bacteria that cause tooth decay. Researchers from King’s College London ...

“Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the main component of enamel and one of the most studied biomaterials in the medical and dental field,” Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, the chief dental officer of Lenny Kravitz’s ...

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, ...

For years, cavities dominated conversations around oral health, which isn’t just about minty breath or plaque removal. Increasingly, dentists say the real key lies in protecting the most vital and ...

Which enamel toothpastes are best? As we get older, the enamel on our teeth starts to wear down as a result of consuming high-acid foods and beverages such as coffee and cola. To prevent enamel loss ...
