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, ...

Scientists have perfected hydroxyapatite, a material for mineralizing bones and teeth. By adding a complex of amino acids to hydroxyapatite, they were able to form a dental coating that replicates the ...

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 era of dental care may be dawning as scientists work to find revolutionary technologies to combat what has become a persistent global health crisis, ranging from AI-powered diagnostics and 3D ...

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 ...

Toothpaste made from human hair could soon join the toolkit for dental care, offering both sustainability and clinical benefits. Researchers at King’s College London say keratin, a protein found in ...

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 ...

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 ...

You’ll likely see both hydroxyapatite and nano-hydroxyapatite on ingredient lists. Both are biocompatible minerals to what’s ...
