Regenerative medicine-based approaches for caries treatment focus on biomimetic remineralization of initial carious lesions as a minimal invasive therapy. In vitro, self-assembling peptide P11-4 enhances remineralization of early carious lesions. To investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of P1...
