Scientists at King’s College London (KCL) discovered that keratin -- a protein found in human hair, nails, and wool -- may protect and repair tooth enamel, which may be groundbreaking in the field of ...

Dental restorations can restore the natural appearance of a tooth by repairing decay (cavities), cracks, and other damage. There isn’t a single option for restoration. For example, crowns and onlays ...

Researchers have developed a teeth-whitening powder that works with the vibrations of an electric toothbrush to safely remove stains. Unlike traditional whiteners, it not only brightens teeth but also ...

Remineralization is a natural tooth repair process. Your body takes calcium and phosphate minerals from your saliva and deposits them in your enamel. Enamel is the protective outer layer of your teeth ...

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 ...
