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.

Keywords: Peptides; Biomimetics; Remineralization
