This study examines the relationship between enamel acid etch pattern and bond strength. Bond strength and etch patterns vary between tooth type and between teeth within a tooth type. An 'ideal' ...

Researchers have created a bioinspired gel that can regenerate tooth enamel by mimicking natural growth processes. The fluoride-free material forms a mineral-rich layer that restores enamel’s strength ...

Tooth enamel erosion is when the protective enamel on your teeth wears away, causing it to become thinner and weaker than it should be. This makes your teeth more likely to get stained and feel ...

An innovative gel that forms a layer over teeth and then recruits calcium and phosphate ions from saliva to build new enamel has the potential to change dental treatment. To date, we don't have any ...

To the naked eye, enamel looks like a plain white solid. Chemically, though, enamel has a lot going on. It contains small amounts of proteins, traces of ions such as sodium, as well as water. Mostly, ...

The enamel that gives our teeth their bite evolved from the scales of ancient fish that lived more than 400 million years ago, fossil and genetic evidence suggests. Enamel is the hardest tissue ...

Just like the rest of the body, oral hygiene and dental health are important, too. Not many people may know this, but the nature of your teeth speaks volumes of your overall well-being, and poor oral ...
