A new study has uncovered a rare behavior in the material of the teeth of the Atlantic wolffish. This material is osteodentin, the tissue at the tooth’s core, which appears to shrink in every ...
A team of international researchers has discovered that the structure of dentin works to protect against cracks and increases the resistance of teeth in a new study in the journal Nano Letters (May ...
