Evaluation of the Remineralizing Effect of Self-assembling Peptide P11-4 on Caries Affected Dentin.

Nafesa Mostafa

Dental caries is a biofilm-mediated, sugar-driven, multifactorial, dynamic disease that results in the phasic demineralization and remineralization of dental hard tissues. These tissues have poor regeneration capability because of the lack of both regenerative cells and vascularization. In the complex caries progression process involving dietary sugars, bacterial metabolism and demineralization, the collagenous organic matrix becomes exposed and destroyed by resident and bacterial proteases, allowing the lesion to expand
