Teeth may seem like static fixtures, but a new collaboration between engineers and clinicians is proving just how dynamic, ...

Researchers are reporting a new type of dental coating, which is made by tweaking the composition of a naturally-occurring mineral to emulate the microstructure of natural enamel, and do so in a ...

Bacteria are not the sole cause of cavities; tooth resistance also plays an instrumental role. Researchers demonstrate that mutated genes lead to defects in the tooth enamel and can therefore ...

The research reveals how targeting the KMT2D gene could help correct oral disorders and prevent craniofacial birth defects.

Bacteria are not the sole cause of caries; tooth resistance also plays an instrumental role. Researchers from the University of Zurich demonstrate that mutated genes lead to defects in the tooth ...

Scientists at a Chinese university say they have discovered the world's first material that can repair damaged tooth enamel once and last for life.A few drops of the liquid solution can fix all ...

“What we started to see is that these mice developed teeth that were very fragile and would break when they chewed on their chow,” he said. The team also discovered that the enamel defects started ...

But scientists in Britain have developed a new procedure dubbed EAER, or "Electrically Assisted Enhanced Remineralisation," that can repair a slightly decayed tooth before a deep cavity forms.

Growing an entire new tooth—or starting the process so that the cells can continue it when implanted—will require ...

A group of researchers in Australia and Taiwan has developed a new way to analyze the health of human teeth using lasers. By measuring how the surface of a tooth responds to laser-generated ...

Scientists have developed a synthetic form of tooth enamel that mimics the composition and structure of the biological hard outer coating on teeth and is also harder than the natural layer.. Tooth ...

But our study shows Paranthropus had very low rates of enamel chipping (a common type of tooth fracture), ... Before such techniques were developed and refined, ... Paranthropus robustus tooth ...
