» Scientists discover a new way to prevent gum disease without killing good bacteria
08/05/26 05:27 from Dentistry News -- ScienceDaily
Scientists have uncovered a surprising way to influence the bacteria living in our mouths — not by killing them, but by interrupting how they “talk” to each other. Researchers found that dental plaque bacteria use chemical signals to coordinate gr...

» Boosting one protein helps the brain fight Alzheimer’s
02/05/26 08:57 from Dentistry News -- ScienceDaily
Scientists have discovered a way to help the brain clean itself of harmful Alzheimer’s plaques by activating its own support cells. By increasing a protein called Sox9, researchers were able to boost the activity of astrocytes, star shaped cells t...

» New toothpaste stops gum disease without killing good bacteria
13/04/26 10:02 from Dentistry News -- ScienceDaily
Scientists have developed a new way to fight gum disease without wiping out the mouth’s helpful bacteria—a major shift from traditional treatments. Instead of killing everything, this targeted approach blocks only the harmful microbes that drive p...

» Artificial saliva made from sugarcane protein protects teeth from acid and decay
05/04/26 00:38 from Dentistry News -- ScienceDaily
Scientists have created an artificial saliva using a sugarcane protein that can protect teeth and fight bacteria. The key ingredient, CANECPI-5, binds directly to enamel, forming a shield against acids that cause decay. Early tests show it works e...

» Deepfake X-rays are so real even doctors can’t tell the difference
26/03/26 06:42 from Dentistry News -- ScienceDaily
Deepfake X-rays created by AI are now convincing enough to fool both doctors and AI models. In tests, radiologists had limited success identifying fake images, especially when they didn’t know they were being shown. This opens the door to risks li...

» First ever atomic movie reveals hidden driver of radiation damage
