Tooth enamel can be restored by adding a complex of amino acids to the mineralized material hydroxyapatite, discovered through joint research by scientists at Ural Federal University, Voronezh State ...

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 ...

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

New biomimetic coating regrows natural enamel in minutes Restored enamel is stronger and smoother than before Potential cure for enamel loss and dentine exposure Tooth enamel is the hardest substance ...

An innovative gel that forms a layer over teeth and then recruits calcium and phosphate ions from saliva to build new enamel has the potential to change dental treatment. To date, we don't have any ...

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 ...

Which enamel toothpastes are best? As we get older, the enamel on our teeth starts to wear down as a result of consuming high-acid foods and beverages such as coffee and cola. To prevent enamel loss ...

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) toothpaste is a dental product that contains manufactured calcium phosphate. Calcium and phosphate are minerals that form 95% of tooth enamel and 70% of bones. NASA developed HAP ...
