For all the cool regenerative tricks the human body can do, it’s kind of weird that we only have one shot at tooth enamel with no way to get it back. That may be about to change, as researchers ...

Scientists used strontium isotopes in Misha the elephant’s teeth to track her movements, revealing a method to study ancient ...

Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant’s teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. University of Utah geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or ...

For instance, teeth contain enamel, a substance much harder than bone. Despite their solid appearance, bones contain a spongy inner layer that absorbs shock so bones don't break during high-impact ...

They created organoids from stem cells that secrete the proteins that then form enamel. It might be possible to patch up teeth with this approach. The team envisions using it as a living filling that ...

It is usually a harmless condition that only tends to develop before the teeth break through the gums. Another common cause is enamel hypoplasia. This condition occurs when a person’s teeth ...

White spots on your teeth, also known as white spot lesions, are places where the surface enamel is decalcified. This typically happens as a result of poor dental hygiene or malnutrition at a ...

"Our study not only adds to our understanding of how tooth enamel records an animal's Sr isotope exposure, but also helps to reconstruct animal migrations from Sr isotope analysis," lead author ...
