Summary
Tooth decay remains a major public health problem. The project will involve the testing of the system to remineralize (repair) early stages of decay. The project also involves the detailed characterization of the molecular interactions of the components of a system. It is anticipated that this project will result in the development of a system with substantially superior properties for the non-invasive treatment (repair) of early tooth decay.

Summary
Tooth decay and erosion involve loss of tooth mineral and are major public health problems.The project will involve the testing of a prototype professional product “Tooth Mousse Professional” to repair early stages of mineral loss. It is anticipated that this project will result in the development of a system with substantially superior properties for the non-invasive treatment of early tooth decay and erosion. The system will also encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria in the mouth.
