Engineered Salivary Peptides Reduce Enamel Demineralization Provoked by Cariogenic <i>S. mutans</i> Biofilm

Engineered Salivary Peptides Reduce Enamel Demineralization Provoked by Cariogenic <i>S. mutans</i> Biofilm

Engineering of the acquired enamel pellicle using salivary peptides has been shown to be a promising anticaries strategy. However, the mechanisms by which these peptides protect teeth against tooth decay are not fully understood. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the engineered salivary pept...
