Self Assembly Peptides- Biomimetic Material
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Self-assembling peptides are peptides which undergo spontaneous assembling into ordered nanostructures. As dentistry we are moving towards minimal invasive methods and hence there is a growing interest with regard to this new material. Self assembling peptides can prevent dental caries at an early stage thus preventing surgical process of cavity preparation and restorations.
