French scientists use a thin film or glue containing a new series of amino acids called MSH and place it next to the hole in the tooth. A month later, the hole disappears because MSH is a hormone that stimulates cells in the teeth to grow to fill the gap.

'MSH is not a toothpaste so it has no effect on preventing tooth decay. It only works to control the vulnerabilities after they appear, 'said Nadia Benkirane-Jessel, working at the National Institute of Medical and Hygiene Research.
