Abstract
Caries is the most common disease worldwide (95%), despite the promotion and comprehensive prevention of dental diseases, the introduction of fluoride in various forms and a high level of public awareness. A new prospect for stopping the destruction of enamel are products containing oligopeptides (OP). OP are organic molecules consisting of a small number of amino acid residues connected by peptide bonds, which have found wide application in medical practice. One of the representatives is the synthetic, pH-controlled, self-organizing peptide P11-4 (INCI name Oligopeptide 104), used for biomimetic mineralization, including enamel regeneration. Since P11-4 promotes the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals de novo deep within and throughout the entire area of the carious lesion, the use of this agent in dentistry can be considered as a new, effective and non-invasive option for the treatment of enamel caries in the absence of a carious cavity.
