@purefactstiktok: Scientists just proved that wrong. 🦷 Researchers at the University of Nottingham have developed a protein-based gel that can actually regenerate tooth enamel in just two weeks. The gel is made from engineered proteins called elastin-like recombinamers that mimic the natural molecules responsible for building enamel during infancy. When applied to damaged teeth it creates a scaffold that attracts calcium and phosphate ions and rebuilds the crystal structure of enamel. Electron microscopy confirmed the transformation from eroded surfaces to organized layered enamel crystals. The gel is completely fluoride-free and can be applied as quickly as a standard dental treatment. Tests on extracted human molars showed the regenerated enamel withstood brushing, chewing, and exposure to acidic foods just like healthy natural enamel. 😮 Professor Alvaro Mata described it as safe, easy to apply, and scalable for patients of all ages. The team has already launched a startup called Mintech-Bio to bring this to market. Clinical trials were scheduled to begin in early 2026 (Futura-Sciences) with a consumer product potentially available in 2026 or 2027. The era of drilling and filling may finally be coming to an end. 🌟 📚 Source: Hasan et al., Nature Communications, 2025.
