Gel that makes teeth repair themselves could spell the end of fillings
Found on New Scientist on Saturday, 31 August 2019
Tooth enamel can now be made to repair itself by applying a special gel. The product could save people from developing cavities that require dental fillings.
The gel stimulated the growth of new enamel, with microscopy revealing that it had the same highly ordered arrangement of calcium and phosphate crystals as regular enamel.
Expect that dentists will lobby against it in order to protect their income.
