Using nanoscale technology, researchers have, for the first time, produced detailed 3-D maps of the composition and structure of mature human tooth enamel. The maps show the position of atoms critical ...

Our teeth are put to the test every day, withstanding all the crunching and munching of meals and snacks. This remarkable resilience appears to be due to the microscopic "basket-weave" structure of ...

New studies shed light on ancient creatures' dental structure and wear -- and how these unique characteristics helped them live and adapt to their environments. A trio of published studies have ...

The structure of our teeth goes beyond mere aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in determining overall health. From oral hygiene to systemic well-being, the condition of our teeth influences various ...

Melbourne: Scientists have created 3D prints of a 400 million year old fish fossil found in Australia which could unveil how human teeth evolved. Researchers from The Australian National University ...

The human body is remarkable in its ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. Whether it's a cut on the skin or a ...

Material and structures engineers worked with dentists and bioengineers to map the exact composition and structure of tooth enamel at the atomic scale. Using a relatively new microscopy technique ...
