An amyloid-based hydrogel with remineralizing and antibacterial properties for interrupting dental caries

Key Points

• The hydrogel shows significant remineralization potential, enhancing tooth strength against decay.
• In laboratory tests, the hydrogel demonstrated considerable antibacterial effects against common oral pathogens.
• Analysis involved in vitro experiments that simulated the natural dental environment over several weeks.
• This approach may enable new treatments for dental health, addressing the limits of traditional methods.
