A new era of dental care may be dawning as scientists work to find revolutionary technologies to combat what has become a persistent global health crisis, ranging from AI-powered diagnostics and 3D ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham created a gel that can regenerate tooth enamel. It can also strengthen already healthy enamel and prevent future decay, they said. Tooth enamel is a thin ...

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 ...

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 ...
