Learn MoreEvery day, people put their teeth at risk by eating foods that contain a lot of sugar. A lack of brushing teeth causes the build-up of bacteria. The bacteria use the sugars present in these foods to cause the weakening of teeth and if left untreated, can lead to holes and cavities in teeth. The concept of “re-mineralization” is the idea of using minerals such as calcium to make teeth stronger and have them heal faster. The goal of this project is to make the process of “re-mineralization” stronger and faster so that patients can benefit from the repair of the damage caused by food and bacteria. The partnered company, Medicom, is expected to be able to benefit from this project from the development of a new product formulation.
