Cavity Fighting Candy
Oral biologists formulated a
mint that fights cavities
with an ingredient called
Cavistat. Cavistat contains
two main components that
protect the teeth. First,
the amino acid arginine
metabolizes certain

Digitial Dentist
Prosthodontists use a new
digital technology that
creates a 3D image of
patients' teeth, eliminating
the need for messy molds. A
hand-held scanner takes
digital pictures of a
patient's damaged and

3D Dental Implants
Researchers find that by
imaging the mouth with a 3-D
CT scan, they are able to
create and insert a complete
dental implant in one day.
Instead of waiting for six
months between placing the
implant and the crown, this

Microbiologists Find Soap and Water Best for Washing Hands, Removing Germs
Microbiologists tested 14 hand-hygiene agents -- everything from soap and alcohol rubs to plain old tap water -- against hardy bacteria and viruses applied to the hands of 62 volunteers. The study ... > more -
Biophysicists Grow Pretty Bacteria In Petri Dishes To Find Antibiotics
Biophysicists are growing Petri dishes of different species of bacteria in order to develop new antibiotics. The bacteria are subjected to different temperatures and have limited food sources inside ... > more -
Otolaryngologists Use New Gel to Reduce Bleeding and Pain
Recovering from sinus surgery is notoriously painful and uncomfortable -- especially when doctors need to remove a packing they placed inside the sinus cavity during the procedure to reduce bleeding. ... > more -
Neurologists, Imaging Scientists Use Medical Physics to Spot Disease in Blood Vessels
A new brain-imaging method allows physicians to diagnose Alzheimer's before its onset. A radioactive dye is injected in the blood and travels to the brain, where it attaches to plaque deposits of ... > more -
What Kills E Coli and Salmonella Bacteria?
Food scientists at The Ohio State University wanted to see if cooler water could kill bacteria on dirty dishes like E. coli and salmonella. The study found that even when dishes were washed in ... > more -
Biochemists Develop Proteomic Test For Breast Cancer
Biochemists look at 22 protein biomarkers to distinguish patients with breast cancer from those without it. The early detection test complements mammograms and is most applicable to women who are at ... > more -
Biochemists Create Microbicidal Coating to Fight Hospital Infections
New bandages with microbicidal coating kill the most harmful bacteria on contact. The coating is washable and can also be used on hospital gowns and bed sheets, which will help reduce the risk of ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers use Fluorescence Spectroscopy Inside Coronary Arteries
So-called vulnerable plaque is the most dangerous type of build-up in the coronary arteries. A new technique, called laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, uses fiber optics to determine what kind ... > more -
