Story summary

Researchers from University of Tottenham and University of Nottingham developed a protein-based gel that regenerates damaged tooth enamel without surgery.
The gel mimics natural proteins to form a protective enamel layer that absorbs calcium and phosphate from saliva to promote growth.
Mintech-Bio, a Pembroke Pines, Florida-based startup, commercializes the technology and plans to launch next year, potentially addressing global tooth decay.
