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 ...

In our world of fast food and sugary snacks, tooth decay is a big problem. Many people undergo nasty dental work when cavities arise, with lost enamel being replaced by materials like metal alloys and ...

Recent scientific advancements have led to the development of an innovative toothpaste containing proteins derived from human hair. This breakthrough promises not only to rebuild tooth enamel but also ...

Dental treatments from sheep’s wool and other hair could be used to coat teeth to repair enamel and prevent tooth decay, according to a new study. After extracting keratin — a protein found in hair, ...

A teeth-whitening powder activated by the vibrations of an electric toothbrush not only brightens, but also protects, teeth.

A new dental treatment using a protein found in hair may help repair damaged tooth enamel. Researchers at King's College London say the key is keratin, which is the protein found in hair. A new dental ...

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 ...

Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from ...

Damaged teeth could one day be repaired with "living fillings" created from stem cells, a new study reports. In the lab, researchers induced stem cells to form small, multicellular mini-organs that ...

A pioneering treatment expected to be on the market next year could offer a lifeline for people suffering from tooth decay. The researchers note that there is currently no solution available that can ...

Scientists repaired damaged human teeth in laboratory experiments using a new material that mimics the mechanical properties of tooth enamel. Tooth enamel bears a fish-scale–like structure that has ...
