Alban Desoutter is a researcher at the Faculty of Odontology in Montpellier, he studies dental tissues to improve the diagnosis of diseases such as cavities. During his research, he discovered a new structure of dental anatomy: the “draped bushes”. Present in the enamel, it undoubtedly plays a major role in the resistance of our teeth. A discovery made possible by a device that allows you to look inside samples without destroying them, thanks to X-rays and in a resolution that allows you to see details never seen before. A surprise for the director of the laboratory. This discovery might also help to solidify teeth in the clinic. Further research into these structures and their origin is already planned.
