Regrowing Tooth Enamel: A New Frontier in Dental Care? Researchers at the University of Nottingham have made a significant discovery that could potentially change the way we approach tooth decay and erosion.
They've developed a gel like substance designed to regrow damaged tooth enamel, a breakthrough that has left many in the dental community abuzz.
The new material is inspired by proteins that guide enamel formation in infancy. It's made from calcium and phosphate ions drawn from saliva, which are then used to guide the controlled growth of new mineral crystals.
