Dentin Booster
Invention Summary:
Dentin is a critical structural component of teeth, reinforcing enamel and protecting against bacterial invasion. Damage to dentin from acid and bacterial activity increases the risk of tooth decay and is slow to repair naturally. Developed by Rutgers researcher Dr. Saghiri and his team, Dentin Booster is a dentin irrigant...
