Researchers in London have received the materials science Venture Prize for developing a new degradable particle which could bring relief to people with toothache. The researchers from Queen Mary, University of London have developed new degradable particles designed to enter holes in teeth. The particles are special glasses that can be incorporated into toothpaste and dissolve in the mouth, releasing calcium and phosphate that form tooth mineral. This reduces tooth pain, cuts back on the incidences of tooth decay and repairs teeth.
