​
Invention Summary:
Dentin is a crucial part of our teeth, fortifying the enamel and providing protection from bacteria. Protecting the dentin layer itself from damage, such as that caused by acid and bacteria, is vital to dental hygiene. Without proper protection, tooth decay rates increase, and dentin can be slow to repair itself.
Dentin...
