Teeth can be encouraged to repair themselves in a way that could see an end to fillings, say scientists. The team at King's College London showed that a chemical could encourage cells in the dental ...

Teeth have a natural repair mechanism, but it cannot cope if teeth are overly compromised, for example, by large cavities or trauma. But this mechanism, which relies on the generation of dentine by ...

The stem cells in our teeth can be energized to fill in chips, cracks, and cavities, researchers say, and the findings could one day possibly make dental cement obsolete. The work has been conducted ...

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.

Paul Sharpe, a bioengineer at King’s College London, and his colleagues discovered a new way regenerate teeth in mice. They have made even more progress that edges this experimental procedure closer ...

Fillings which help teeth to self-repair from ongoing decay have been invented by scientists. Hailed as a revolution in dental care, the compound - known as bioactive glass - not only blocks cavities ...

A new method of stimulating the renewal of living stem cells in tooth pulp using an Alzheimer's drug has been discovered by a team of researchers at King's College London. Following trauma or an ...
