The Japanese researcher Kazue Yamagishi is responsible for the revolutionary invention for maintaining personal hygiene. Her discovery is a kind of toothpaste with incredible properties! Namely, her paste fills all the holes and cracks in the teeth, and restores the tooth enamel at the same time.

The properties of this new paste make a lot of manipulations by your dentist unnecessary. The tooth paste contains similar components with the tooth enamel, but it is in a liquid form. Therefore, its form will make it easy for you to apply it using your toothbrush.

The researcher managed to obtain the formula of the new paste by a series of experiments with hydroxylapatite, or otherwise known as crystalline calcium phosphate, which is the main component of the tooth.

As soon as the paste is applied to the teeth, it causes a dilution of the acid on the surface of the teeth. After three minutes, the paste starts to crystallize and gets fastened to the structure of the natural enamel.

:wtf:
 
Hmm, when I had a filling recently the dentist spent about half an hour polishing it and it still felt strange afterwards. Cannot imagine I can do a better DIY job with that stuff... :D

Wonder how they handle smoothness, shaping, etc?
 
Ah we not alone snake eating, grass eating and hot water ring a bell and don't forget about petrol drinking hic:wtf:

And black at that! :D So how does this toothpaste know which holes to fill and which ones not..?

This gappy mess we've got now is inefficient, man...I want a nice flat semicircle to brush.

Just need to figure out how not to fill in the cutting and grinding surfaces...that would suck. Tough steak and you've got flat teeth to work with.
 
Is this the same nonsense they supposedly discovered in 2005 that didn't work? That link posted is notorious for horse schit news...

A paste containing synthetic tooth enamel can seal small cavities without drilling. Kazue Yamagishi and colleagues at the FAP Dental Institute in Tokyo say that the paste can repair small cavities in 15 minutes.

Currently, fillers don't stick to such small cavities so dentists must drill bigger holes. Hydroxyapatite crystals, of which natural enamel is made, bond with teeth to repair tiny areas of damage.

Yamagishi and colleagues have tested their paste on a lower premolar tooth that showed early signs of decay. They found that the synthetic enamel merged with the natural enamel. The synthetic enamel also appears to make teeth stronger which will improve resistance to future decay. As with drilling, however, there is still the potential for pain: The paste is strongly acidic to encourage crystal growth and causes inflammation if it touches the gums.

The paste is reported in the journal Nature.

Yeah, you probably thought it was a weird invention, instead of just more nonsense that doesn't work, as evidenced by you saying it goes on sale in 2017 instead of dismissing it.
