Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from ...

Nature Communications has just published a discovery that could transform our approach to dental care. British researchers have developed a gel capable of regenerating tooth enamel, that protective ...

Damaged teeth could one day be repaired with "living fillings" created from stem cells, a new study reports. In the lab, researchers induced stem cells to form small, multicellular mini-organs that ...

The U.S. National Institutes of Health National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) has awarded a five-year, $2.3 million grant renewal to New York University (NYU) College of ...

Researchers have investigated the importance of the Notch pathway for the evolution of tooth morphology. Mutations in this signalling pathway can lead to defective structures in tooth enamel. Studies ...

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, protecting the innermost layers of the tooth, including the dentin and pulp. Some genetic disorders, however, result in weakened enamel that ...

Tooth decay has forced unpleasant dental visits on most of the U.S. population. In fact, over 90 percent of adults have had at least one cavity. Furthermore, longer lifespans and egregious dental ...

To this day, cavities and damage to enamel are repaired by dentists with the help of synthetic white filling materials. There is no natural alternative to this. But a new 3D model with human dental ...

Researchers at the University of Zurich Center for Dental Medicine recently studied the Notch pathway’s role in the evolution of tooth morphology, with their results being published in Cellular and ...

However, sugar is not the direct cause of cavities. Nor is it a corrosive substance, like the common classroom experiment ...

A systematic review uncovers links between maternal smoking and tooth defects in children, from missing teeth to enamel damage, while calling for stronger research to confirm the risks. Study: The ...
