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 ...

Indian scientists have developed magnetic nanorobots that can repair teeth without human assistance.These bots, smaller than a strand of hair, are able to repair teeth by sealing cracks, killing ...

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, ...

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 ...

Tooth enamel is the strongest material in the human body, yet it cannot regrow once lost. This thin, protective outer layer shields the teeth from acids, bacteria, and wear. When enamel erodes, the ...

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 ...

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 ...
