Haptic nanotechnology used to train dentists

Abstract:
Recent findings published by the American Chemistry Society suggest that special nano-sized film containing alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) prevents inflammation in dental pulp fibroblasts and also regenerates these fibroblast cells. The results mean that dentists can use this nanotechnology to treat diseased teeth and gums, reducing the need for root canal treatment.
