Self-Assembling Peptide P11-4 in Biomimetic Enamel Regeneration

As the outer layer of teeth enamel has to tolerate a range of physical and chemical challenges. Teeth pathologies are commonly manifested as gradual demineralization which leads to mechanical failure and cavitation. Caries is traditionally treated by drilling and filling which involves the replacement of injured tissue with foreign material. Such invasive therapy and the removal of major portions of the tooth weakens and destabilises the tooth resulting in the eventual failure of the filling. Tr...See More
