Biomimetic remineralization of caries affected dentin KU Leuven
Biomimetic remineralization is a technique to grow dental minerals, namely hydroxyapatite, in form shape and mechanical properties similar to the host material dentin. Primarily this can be achieved by phosphorylation of demineralized type I collagen, followed by exposure to Ca2+. Clinically this may be very useful in the prevention and treatment of dentin caries and to create a biocompatible barrier to protect the iatrogenically exposed ...
