New gel regrows tooth enamel and could transform dentistry

Researchers have developed a fluoride-free gel that mimics natural enamel formation to restore and strengthen teeth, potentially transforming dental care. The gel, created by the University of Nottingham, forms a mineral-rich layer that integrates with existing tooth structure, repairing enamel and reducing sensitivity. This innovation could offer a lasting solution for enamel loss and decay, improving dental health and preventing related health issues.
