We've heard that a probiotic pill, an Alzheimer's drug, and a biominf toothpaste can treat or even prevent cavities Now scientists at the University of Washington have developed natural products that can do the job Under the leadership of Professor Mehmet sarikaya, the researchers created a peptide (short chain amino acid) from enamel protein, a protein essential for the formation of tooth enamel
These peptides bind to the tooth surface and then biomineralize by binding calcium and phosphate ions In this way, they can reconstruct teeth and "cure" early cavities by restoring the mineral structure in the primary enamel In laboratory tests, the peptide allowed 10 to 50 microns of new enamel to be deposited on the teeth after each application Researchers hope that once commercialized, technology can be used for daily toothpaste, which should be safe for adults and children, as well as gel products for dental clinics "Peptide guided remineralization is a current health alternative to dental care," sarikaya said The formula with peptide function will be simple and will be implemented in over-the-counter or clinical products " Scientists recently published a paper on the study in the journal ACS biomaterials science and engineering.
