    TLDR Recent dental research shows diet changes increased tooth decay, red wine reduces bacteria, and dental stem cells can regenerate dentin.
    Recent dental research highlighted several key findings: dietary changes since the industrial revolution increased tooth decay and gum disease due to a shift in oral bacteria; red wine and grape seed extract showed potential in preventing dental decay by inhibiting bacterial growth; stem cells from teeth could potentially be used to treat brain injuries like stroke; and low-power lasers were found to stimulate dental stem cells to regenerate tissue, with broader implications for regenerative medicine. These advancements aimed to improve patient care and overall societal health.
