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

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).

Stains build up slowly through daily habits and ageing. Experts break down the types of stains and safe ways to restore a ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
