A coating made from metallic nanoparticles could help prevent cavities from forming by stopping plaque from developing on the teeth, suggests research from the University of Illinois. A new ...

Scientists have perfected hydroxyapatite, a material for mineralizing bones and teeth. By adding a complex of amino acids to hydroxyapatite, they were able to form a dental coating that replicates the ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado (CU) School of Dental Medicine in Aurora, CO, have created a targeted, antibiotic, regenerative dental coating that hampers bacteria that causes caries, ...

The oral cavity is home to a rich ecosystem of microorganisms that are found in both healthy and diseased states. In the area of dental restoration, highly specialized materials are used to fulfill ...

Silver and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles may be the key to reducing the implant failure rate. A new, biocompatible implant coated with the two materials effectively prevented biofilm growth and ...

Graphene based materials (GBMs) have potentials for dental and medical applications. GBMs may cause changes in the levels of cytokine released in the body. This study aimed to study the corrosion ...
