Regenerative biomaterials, a platform for enamel and bone.
Our first two patent-protected applications and the mechanism each is designed around.
Enamel, rebuilt at the mineral interface.
Our materials are designed to work with the body's own chemistry to help teeth heal enamel bio-mimetically.
A biomimetic interface designed to bind with native enamel mineral.
Ordered mineral growth along the enamel structure to protect and continuously repair damage.
Formats developed for delivery within professional & consumer dental care.
Keratin begins as a soluble protein capable of self-assembling into structured architectures.
Keratin self-assembles into β-sheet-rich spherulites and fibrous templates.
The organised keratin structure provides nucleation sites that guide calcium-phosphate mineral growth.
Apatite nanocrystals grow from the keratin scaffold into elongated, organised and locally aligned enamel-like mineral architectures.
The repaired enamel recovers its mineral architecture and mechanical properties.
The keratin-mediated mineralised layer remains associated with enamel after controlled toothbrushing challenge, demonstrating resistance to abrasion.
