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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
The next major innovation in dental care just might be a new ingredient added to our toothpaste and mouthwash from an unlikely source: sheep’s wool or human hair. Both contain the fibrous protein ...
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 ...
A new gel that can help repair and regenerate tooth enamel could create "new possibilities" for treatment, scientists behind its development have said. Specialists from the University of Nottingham's ...
Take a sip of ice-cold water, bite into an ice-cream cone or simply breathe in cold air... and feel a little discharge in ...
Researchers are testing materials that mimic how enamel forms in developing teeth. Dentists are cautiously optimistic, and ...
