The study presents keratin as an eco-friendly, biomimetic alternative to traditional fluoride treatments, which can only slow decay, but not reverse it. "Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body, but ...

Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral found in water, soil, and rocks, has been proven to help protect our teeth from erosion and decay. It can even help to reverse some early signs of degeneration.

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 ...

Scientists in the UK have found keratin, a protein in hair, can rebuild enamel and repair early tooth decay. The discovery could lead to keratin-based toothpaste or dental gels within two to three ...

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 ...

Scientists created a new protein-based gel that can regenerate damaged tooth enamel The material mimics a natural process to regrow enamel mineral structure inside holes and cracks This technology ...

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 ...

In a new study published today, scientists discovered that keratin, a protein found in hair, skin and wool, can repair tooth enamel and stop early stages of decay. The King’s College London team of ...

Toothpaste made from your own hair could help repair and protect damaged teeth, researchers say. Scientists from King's College London (KCL) found that keratin - a protein found in hair, skin and wool ...
