Funded Activity Summary

Recent developments in dental restorative materials create potential for conservative therapy of advanced tooth decay by sealing in the complex infecting microbial populations. Our studies have disclosed these microbial populations and indicated patterns. Planned analysis will follow the fate of bacterial populations that are sealed in this manner to determine the relationship to either resolution or progression of the lesion, leading to diagnostic indicators for clinical management.
