Scientists have discovered a technique thanks to which you will be able to defeat dental diseases.

In a study published in the journal "Nature Communications", scientists from Queen Mary University of London discovered a technique for growing mineral substances that can regenerate hard tissue, such as tooth enamel and bones.

Deterioration of tooth enamel leads to toothache, and gradually to tooth loss, which happens to half of the world's population. Finding ways to preserve or restore teeth for a longer period of time is a problem in dental medicine.

The study describes a new approach that can, with great precision, create materials that mimic and look like tooth enamel.

New substances can be used to prevent a large number of dental complications, but also to treat decayed teeth or their hypersensitivity.

Controlling the mineralization process opens up the possibility of creating substances with properties that mimic different hard tissues such as enamel and bone. The scientists point out that their project has enormous potential in regenerative medicine, reports Avaz.
