Scientists create fluoride-free gel that restores lost enamel within two weeksBy Neetika Walter
Losing tooth enamel has long been a one-way street. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. But that may soon change.
Scientists have developed a new gel that can repair and regenerate enamel, offering a glimpse of a future where teeth can heal themselves.
...
Acting as a scaffold, it pulls calcium and phosphate ions from saliva and promotes the organized growth of new minerals in a process known as epitaxial mineralization.
The result? Newly grown enamel that restores both the structure and properties of natural teeth.
They're expecting a product to ship next year. If it works as promised, this will be a massive game-changer for dental health.
