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 ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham created a gel that can regenerate tooth enamel. It can also strengthen already healthy enamel and prevent future decay, they said. Tooth enamel is a thin ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
