Researchers have found a way to regenerate rotten teeth. Using a drug normally given to treat those with Alzheimer’s, a team of scientists have managed to repair cavities by stimulating the naturally ...

A team of international researchers has discovered that the structure of dentin works to protect against cracks and increases the resistance of teeth in a new study in the journal Nano Letters (May ...

A team of researchers including those from Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden (BIOTEC), have found that stem cells could be used for several forms of tissue engineering including tooth repair.

This news release is available in German. Human teeth have to serve for a lifetime, despite being subjected to huge forces. But the high failure resistance of dentin in teeth is not fully understood.

The dentist's drill is a sound that sends shudders down the spines of many people, so it sure would be nice if teeth could just repair themselves. Thankfully that's not as far-fetched as it sounds – ...

Walking into a dentist’s office could be less of a frightening thing in the future if scientists Kyle Vining, of Harvard, and Adam Celiz, of the British University of Nottingham, have anything to do ...

Stem cells hold the key for tissue engineering, as they develop into specialised cell types throughout the body including in teeth. An international team of researchers, including scientists from the ...

A new method of tooth repair? Scientists uncover mechanisms to inform future treatment The study showed that a gene called Dlk1 enhances stem cell activation and tissue regeneration in tooth healing ...
