ABSTRACT
Caries develop when the remineralization and demineralization equilibriums are out of balance. When the demineralization level exceeds 30%, the enamel suffers irreversible damage. As a result, non-invasive techniques for early detection and management of these reversible incipient lesions are recommended. Fluorides are the most important and effective, and their local efficacy has been widely researched. Many new innovations have been introduced for remineralisation of the early lesions, such as ACP-CPP, Self-assembling peptides, etc., CPP–ACP is a milk product that aids in remineralization and dental caries prevention. Amorphous calcium phosphate is delivered by casein phosphopeptide, which also aids ACP binding to dental enamel. The natural amino acids Glutamine, Glutamic acid, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan, Serine, and Arginine make up the self-assembling peptide P11-4, which is intended to form brils at low pH and to be monomeric at higher pH. Furthermore, studies are to be conducted to learn about the mechanism of Self-assembling peptides.
