Rapid Relief of Dentine Sensitivity with Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles
Dentine sensitivity is a common and painful dental condition that occurs when dentinal tubules are exposed, typically due to enamel erosion or gum recession. These tubules allow external stimuli such as heat, cold, or acidic substances to reach the nerves, causing sharp pain. This discomfort can interfere with daily activities such as eating, drinking, and brushing teeth. Current treatments can be categorized into chemical agents and physical agents: Chemical Agents: These include desensitizing toothpastes containing compounds like potassium nitrate and fluoride treatments. Potassium nitrate works by blocking pain signals from reaching the nerves, while fluoride strengthens the enamel to reduce sensitivity. However, both of these treatments require continuous, regular use to maintain their effects, and relief is often temporary. They do not address the root cause of exposed tubules but rather offer symptomatic relief. Physical Agents: Laser therapy and dental bonding fall under this category. Laser therapy seals the dentinal tubules by using heat, providing immediate relief, but it is costly and requires professional application, limiting its accessibility. Dental bonding involves covering the exposed dentin with a protective layer, but it may require frequent maintenance and can be expensive. This technology solution is a new formula for tooth desensitizing gel which addresses the limitations of these current methods. This gel uses amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles (ACPNPs) to effectively seal exposed dentinal tubules, offering immediate pain relief after just one application. In addition, it replenishes lost enamel minerals, strengthening the teeth and providing long-term protection. It’s easy, at-home application makes it a more accessible and cost-effective solution compared to physical treatments like laser therapy, while offering a more durable alternative to chemical agents like desensitizing toothpaste. By targeting both the cause and symptoms of dentine sensitivity, this gel presents a significant advancement over traditional treatments, delivering rapid and long-lasting relief. Ideal collaboration partners in the value chain include dental clinics for product validation, and partnerships with research institutions and universities to further the development and optimization of the technology. Rapid Tubule Occlusion: The gel’s ACPNPs provide 85% occlusion of exposed dentine tubules after a single overnight application, effectively blocking pain signals and delivering immediate relief from sensitivity. Long-Lasting Protection & Enamel Strengthening: The ACPNPs not only seal the dentine tubules but also replenish enamel minerals, strengthening the tooth structure for long-term protection.  Convenient Application: Designed for overnight, at-home use, the gel provides an easy, time-efficient solution. Unlike traditional treatments that require daily application, this gel delivers sustained relief with less frequent use. This combination of immediate relief and durable enamel protection makes the gel an effective and accessible solution for those suffering from dentine sensitivity. Dental Clinics and Oral Care Industry: The primary application of this technology is in professional dental treatments for dentine hypersensitivity, providing rapid and long-lasting relief for patients experiencing discomfort due to exposed dentinal tubules. Cosmetic Dentistry: The desensitizing gel can be incorporated into aftercare products for cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, which often result in increased sensitivity. This helps improve patient comfort post-procedure. Pharmaceutical Industry: The gel can be developed into over-the-counter (OTC) products for treating tooth sensitivity, offering consumers a quick and effective solution that can be applied easily at home, providing a convenient alternative to more invasive treatments. Fast relief with overnight application through 85% dentinal tubule occlusion, reducing sensitivity after just one use. Dual-action formula seals dentine tubules while replenishing enamel, offering long-term protection against sensitivity and tooth erosion. Cost-effective alternative to professional treatments like laser therapy or dental bonding. Convenient and easy to use, providing sustained relief without the need for frequent applications or continuous product use. This combination of features positions the gel as an effective, accessible solution for managing dentine hypersensitivity with both short-term and long-term benefits.

Automated Guided Wave Ultrasonic Imaging for Continuous Pipeline Health Monitoring
To ensure safe and cost-effective operations across various industries, it is essential to identify potential pipeline damage early to prevent leaks. This includes monitoring changes in wall thickness to estimate corrosion rates and alerting operators with advanced warning signals about possible corrosion, allowing for rectification before leaks occur. Conventional thickness evaluation processes require manually scanning pipelines using probes, a method that is tedious and challenging, especially in remote locations. Additionally, the high upfront costs (approximately 75%) of traditional non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods are often incurred before each pipeline thickness measurement. These costs can be even higher if the pipelines are in inaccessible or harsh environments. To address these challenges, an innovative guided wave monitoring system has been developed, which can be permanently installed at critical points along the pipeline network. This system continuously monitors pipeline wall thickness and assesses potential corrosion damage. Compared to other NDE techniques, it accurately measures corrosion rates, sends early warning signals when wall thickness falls below a critical threshold, and significantly reduces the costs associated with setting up measurement equipment in difficult-to-access environments. The developed solution utilises guided wave tomography, which offers good potential to monitor the thickness of corrosion patches without requiring access to the entire surface. It uses the dispersion characteristics of guided waves and reconstructs a thickness map by inverting ultrasonic signals captured by a transducer array positioned around the inspection area. A novel guided wave tomography method based on full waveform inversion (FWI) is applied to the developed solution for corrosion mapping. It uses a forward solver to predict the scattering of guided wave through defects in the acoustic model, and an iterative inverse model to reconstruct the corrosion profile. At each iteration, numerical modeling is performed to minimize the least-squares residual between the modeled and observed data. This approach overcomes the limitations of ignoring crucial low-frequency effects in travel-time tomography and accounts for higher-order diffraction and scattering in its numerical solver, providing more accurate inversion results. The guided wave tomography method based on FWI is first applied to measure defects at an accelerated corrosion site. The reconstructed thickness map is compared with measurements from a laser profilometer. The technique is also used to predict the corrosion rate, which can then be compared with predictions from Faraday's Law. This guided wave monitoring system can be deployed in the oil and gas industry, where pipeline integrity is crucial to prevent gas leaks and failures. It also has applications in other industries, such as chemical manufacturing, water supply, power generation, and mining, where corrosion and leaks pose risks to safety and efficiency. Key applications include remote monitoring of pipelines in harsh environments, corrosion detection, and early leak prevention. This technology eliminates the need for manual inspections in difficult-to-access areas, making it ideal for offshore platforms and desert pipelines. Marketable products from this technology include permanently installed corrosion monitoring devices, real-time integrity monitoring systems, and early warning systems for gas leaks. Additionally, data analytics platforms could be developed to track corrosion rates, predict future wear, and optimize maintenance schedules. This innovation can significantly enhance safety, reduce inspection costs, and improve operational efficiency across various industries where pipeline integrity is essential. This guided wave monitoring system improves upon current state-of-the-art pipeline inspection technologies by offering: Continuous, real-time monitoring of pipeline wall thickness and corrosion rates.  Eliminates the need for labor-intensive and costly manual inspections.  Provides accurate, real-time corrosion data.  Reduces operational costs.  Enhances safety in pipeline monitoring.  Ideal for industries with complex and hard-to-reach pipeline networks.
