A new era of dental care may be dawning as scientists work to find revolutionary technologies to combat what has become a persistent global health crisis, ranging from AI-powered diagnostics and 3D ...

Monkeys on a Japanese island experienced a severe loss of tooth enamel during the 1980s, which researchers believe was caused by the stress of culling programmes and the destruction of their habitat.

Damaged teeth could one day be repaired with "living fillings" created from stem cells, a new study reports. In the lab, researchers induced stem cells to form small, multicellular mini-organs that ...

A team of scientists in London may have found a way to repair tooth enamel using an ingredient found in an unexpected place: human hair. Researchers at King’s College London experimented with keratin, ...
