First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a self-assembly peptide, with or without laser treatment, can help remineralize (repair) early cavities. Thirty adults with active early decay were treated and monitored for one year. The goal was to see if these approaches could reverse the early damage and prevent cavities from getting worse.
