An iron oxide nanozyme formulation for augmenting the efficacy of oral care products.
A combinatory formulation for oral care products that enhances antimicrobial specificity, anti-plaque potency and prevents tooth decay. Problem: Tooth decay (dental caries), caused by the destruction of the outer layer (enamel) of teeth by bacteria in biofilms, affects nearly half of the global population and remains the most prevalent chronic disease...

A novel method for treating and preventing dental diseases
Background The challenges to developing effective anti-biofilm therapies include targeting and delivery of therapeutic agents to the appropriate surface, the short duration that the agents remain in contact with the surface, release at the appropriate time, and clearance of the agents. These challenges are especially relevant in the dental field since...
