These CalBots can then form durable seals for worn enamel, offering lasting relief from tooth sensitivity in just one application.  The study is published in Advanced Science. The […]

As an explanatory model […]

Worse, there’s no permanent cure for this condition. Now researchers from Wuhan University in China have developed a new material with an extract from green tea that could fix this problem—as well as help prevent cavities in […]
