Objectives
Our overall-goal is to develop a long-lasting, easy-to-use, and highly translational oral care product to prevent caries and/or treat early carious lesions (or white spot lesions caused by orthodontic treatment). We propose to develop a tooth spray that could be directly applied on teeth and form a stable coating of self-assembling peptides.
