Beyond repairing decay, the gel can be applied directly onto exposed dentine (the sensitive layer beneath the enamel).

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 ...

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 ...

The research team behind the gel said they hope to have a product based on it available next year A new gel that can help repair and regenerate tooth enamel could create "new possibilities" for ...

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, ...

A groundbreaking study reveals a new glycerol-stabilised calcium phosphate gel that can naturally repair early enamel damage, mimicking the tooth's own mineralisation. This innovation promises a shift ...

BRITISH scientists have invented a rub-on gel they say can regrow tooth enamel to fix cavities and stop decay. Enamel is the rock-hard outer layer of the tooth that wears away over time and never ...

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 ...

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 led ...
