When it comes to looking at teeth, many people think their heads are big A study at the University of Illinois at Chicago may help you avoid going to the dentist's problem in the future Researchers found that a pine root extract makes teeth stronger and makes cavity fillings less likely to fall off The researchers wrote in a paper published in the American Journal of organic chemistry that they applied the root extract of Pinus massoniana to human teeth and tested its deformation under heavy pressure The results showed that the extract could make the teeth stronger and maintain the effect for at least one year The researchers say this is because the compounds in the pine root extract strengthen dentin by up to 10 times Dentin is the main hard tissue, which is located in the inner layer of enamel and cementum The researchers also found that pine root extracts make resin fillers stick to teeth more firmly, making them less prone to fall off "We have clear evidence that the extract improves the bond properties between the resin and dentin," the researchers said
