In the UK, scientists discovered that Keratin was used in hair care to form a protective layer similar to tooth enamel. Scientists, who not only say they can produce toothpaste from hair.
Teeth will be protected from tooth decay with toothpaste made of hair. King College London researchers in the UK discovered that Keratin, found in hair, skin and straw, can repair teeth. When Keratin is exposed to minerals in saliva, it is found that it creates a coating similar to the structure of the enamel. Provide protection against tooth decay Scientists say this structure, collecting calcium and phosphorus ions, providing protection against tooth decay. In the study published in the journal “Advanced Medical Materials”, researchers producing toothpaste from wool emphasized that they can produce Keratin toothpaste from substances like hair and skin. Chemicals can be replaced While experiments continue on keratin -containing toothpaste, recyclable keratin can replace chemicals used in toothpaste. Unlike bones and hair, enamel is not renewed. For this reason, the doctors pointed out that when the enamel was lost once, it disappeared forever.
