Scientists Working On New Diamond Dental Implants

Scientists from UCLA and the NanoCarbon Research Institute in Japan have discovered that tiny diamonds could be sued to improve the efficacy of dental implant treatment and reduce the risk of osteonecrosis, a disease that affects the bone tissue in the jaw. Scientists have discovered that nanodiamonds, which are so small that they cannot be […]

UCLA Control of Stem-to-bone Cell Differentiation Promotes Bone Regeneration and Gum Disease Treatment

Cancer scientists at the UCLA School of Dentistry have discovered two key epigenetic regulating genes responsible for the cell-fate determination of human bone marrow stem cells. What this means is that future dental researchers may learn control of the stem-to-bone cell differentiation process for treating metabolic bone diseases. Development of targeted treatments in craniofacial bone […]
