Novel hydrogel systems for dentin regeneration
Dental caries, or tooth decay, continues to be the most prevalent infectious disease in the world, presenting significant public health challenges and socio-economic consequences. view more (2008-07-07)
Competing proteins influence strength of tooth enamel
A gene critical to tooth formation expresses a protein that is then cleaved into two proteins with seemingly opposite functions, according to a USC-led team of dental researchers. view more (2005-09-01)
Stem Cells from Monkey Teeth Can Stimulate Growth and Generation of Brain Cells
Researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University, have discovered dental pulp stem cells can stimulate growth and generation of several types of neural cells. Findings from this study, available in the October issue of the journal Stem Cells, suggest dental pulp stem cells show promise for use in cell therapy and... view more... (2008-11-12)
New Study Identifies Louse-Borne Diseases That Ravaged Napoleon's Army
Napoleon marched into Russia in the summer of 1812 with a half-million soldiers. Only a few thousand staggered out again, victims of war, weather, and disease. view more (2005-12-15)
Reconstructing mandibular defects with bioengineered tooth and bone
Current strategies for jaw reconstruction require multiple procedures, first to repair the bone defect to offer sufficient support, and then to place the tooth implant. view more (2008-04-07)
Nanotechnology may increase longevity of dental fillings
Tooth-colored fillings may be more attractive than silver ones, but the bonds between the white filling and the tooth quickly age and degrade. view more (2009-07-02)
Major Science Prize to Nordic Scientists
Marcus Wallenberg Prize awarded for an innovation that improves environmental performance and cost-efficiency in the pulp and paper industry. Finnish scientists Johanna Buchert, Maija Tenkanen, and Tapani Vuorinen and Swedish scientist Anita Teleman, have been awarded a major international technology award, the Marcus Wallenberg Prize. The... view more... (2003-01-16)
Improper consumption of acidic foods could lead to destroyed enamel
Fruit, yogurt, citric and soft drinks, may seem like harmless snacks and beverages, but improper consumption and overuse may lead to devastating and permanent damage to teeth. view more (2007-06-26)
Research shows Brazilian acai berry antioxidants absorbed by human body
A Brazilian palm berry sweeping the globe as a popular health food - though little research has been done on it - now may have its purported benefits better understood. view more (2008-10-07)
Durability of dental fillings improves if the enzyme activity of teeth is inhibited
Composite dental fillings have one problematic feature, in that the bond between the filling and the dental tissue deteriorates over time - in fact, sometimes by as much as 50 per cent in one year. As the bond deteriorates, it may allow bacteria to enter and this brings a high risk of further tooth decay. view more (2009-02-12)
Wood to replace oil in building polymers
A new type of polymers can be produced in a more environmentally friendly way, using wood instead of oil as a raw material, according to research at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. The next step is to replace the wood with the process water from the pulp industry. This means a solution to an environmental problem and... view more... (2003-06-12)
Should dentists worry about vCJD transmission?
Existing guidelines on treating patients with diseases such as Creutzfelt-Jakob disease (CJD) do not cover dental health in any detail. Writing in the April Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Professor Stephen Porter of the Eastman Dental Institute at the University of London suggests "important modifications" to the current infection... view more...

Research for sustainable production - the pulp and paper industry
The pulp and paper industry is a key element of the European paper and forestry sector, which generates an annual turnover in excess of Euro 400 billion, providing direct employment for over 260 000 people and indirect employment for around four million. This sector is also the second largest user of fresh water in Europe, which remains a major... view more... (2001-06-28)
Effective relief for sensitive teeth
Those who have over-sensitive necks of teeth will know the stabbing pain encountered when eating a cold ice-cream or a pickled gherkin. Special toothpastes or mouthrinses containing fluorides bring relief. Scientists are investigating what causes them to be effective and how. "Ouch", groans the nice young lady on the TV commercial, pulling a face.... view more... (2002-03-06)
China's demand for recycled wastepaper, a blessing and a curse for the world's forests
China's paper industry has built-up a massive recycling capacity that is shielding forests worldwide from destruction by supporting a strong international market for wastepaper as an alternative to pulpwood, according to a new report released today by Forest Trends, a leading international forestry organization. view more (2007-07-16)
Paying peanuts for clean water
Peanut husks, one of the biggest food industry waste products, could be used to extract environmentally damaging copper ions from waste water, according to researchers in Turkey. view more (2007-11-08)
Destruction of Sumatra forests driving global climate change and species extinction
Turning just one Sumatran province's forests and peat swamps into pulpwood and palm oil plantations is generating more annual greenhouse gas emissions than the Netherlands and rapidly driving the province's elephants into extinction, a new study by WWF and partners has found. view more (2008-02-27)
Open wide and say 'zap'
A group of researchers in Australia and Taiwan has developed a new way to analyze the health of human teeth using lasers. view more (2009-08-19)
Turning Waste Material into Ethanol
Say the word "biofuels" and most people think of grain ethanol and biodiesel. But there's another, older technology called gasification that's getting a new look from researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University. By combining gasification with high-tech nanoscale porous catalysts, they hope... view more... (2008-08-14)
