Tooth whitening has long forced people to choose between brighter smiles and stronger enamel. A new vibrating tooth powder aims to end that tradeoff, promising to lift stains while actually rebuilding ...

A prototype tooth whitening powder activated by the vibrations from an electric toothbrush that whitens and protects teeth ...

Teeth might someday repair themselves using their own stem cells -- eliminating the need for conventional fillings, researchers report. Although still in the laboratory stage, a new method tested in ...

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 ...

A new vibration-activated whitening powder uses electric toothbrush motion to brighten teeth while repairing enamel and influencing oral bacteria. Tooth stains are not always a brushing problem. Some ...

Nobody likes a toothache. At the slightest sign of a damaged tooth, many of us run to our dentists so they can fill the cavities caused by trauma or infection — or perhaps just a persistent sweet ...

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.

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 ...
