Herbs in dentistry

International Dental Journal, 2011
Herbs have been used for centuries to prevent and control disease. Herbal extracts are effective because they interact with specific chemical receptors within the body and are in a pharmacodynamic sense, drugs themselves. By using herbal medicines, patients have averted the many side effects that generally come with traditional medicines, but this does

Biomimetic Mineralization of Keratin Scaffolds for Enamel Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Keratin‐based films guide biomimetic enamel remineralization by promoting organized hydroxyapatite growth under physiological conditions. Advanced biophysical characterization confirms keratin's structural adaptability and mineral ions‐binding affinity, supporting mineral nucleation and hierarchical crystal assembly. This study establishes keratin as a

Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic

Prions and Dentistry [PDF]

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 2002
The risk of transmission of prions during dental care is not known, although on existing evidence it is likely to be very low. Although prions may be detected in the oral tissues of inoculated laboratory animals, at present there are no published reports of the detection of prions in nonlymphoid tissues of humans with any form of Creutzfeldt—Jakob ...
