A groundbreaking study carried out at the University of Nottingham, developed a protein-based gel that can stop the formation of cavities by renewing tooth enamel. this invention, It opens the door to a new era in oral health and dentistry practices..
Scientists in England, took a long-awaited revolutionary step in the field of dental health. Chemistry from the University of Nottingham, Gel developed as a result of joint research between the faculties of Environmental Engineering and Pharmacy., It has a groundbreaking potential in preventing tooth decay by re-creating the natural structure of tooth enamel..
The Natural Process That Renews the Enamel Layer Imitated
This was developed “clever” jel, Promotes enamel development in babies protein-based that mimics the natural process consists of a structure.
- This article, a source for calcium and phosphate ions in saliva scaffold duty It helps the spontaneous repair of the enamel layer by seeing.
- Thus, on the tooth surface a natural remineralization By starting the process, enamel wear and caries formation is prevented..
Effect Going Beyond Fluoride
According to World Health Organization data, worldwide 3,7 It is known that billion people suffer from oral and dental diseases. enamel wear; From tooth sensitivity to infection, It can lead to serious health problems such as tooth loss, diabetes and heart diseases..
Current fluoride treatments are generally protective effect While limited to providing, This newly developed gel The first method that can actively renew tooth enamel stands out as.
One Step Closer to Clinical Use
At the beginning of the research Prof. Alvaro Mata, hopeful about the practicality of the gel. Eye, “With this technology, we can restore tooth enamel as close to its natural structure as possible.. Jel, Practical enough to be easily integrated into dentist practices. We aim to launch the first prototype next year” he said.
From the British Dental Association Prof. Paul Hatton is the invention, “A long-awaited revolutionary step in the field of dental materials” described as.
experts, It is expected that the tooth repairing gel will be included in routine dental treatments in the future. It can greatly reduce the need for fillings and prostheses. states. Results of the study, one of the leading journals of the scientific world Nature Communicationspublished in.
