Stuttgart # DentoZym - Biotech for dental health! # Dental caries is the most common health condition worldwide. Improper oral care can lead to biofilm formation on teeth, causing tooth decay. We focus on a new approach regarding caries prophylaxis. A mixture of enzymes, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and monolaurin will be used to destruct biofilms and prevent biofilm formation. The enzymes degrade exopolysaccharides, which are crucial for biofilm integrity. Bacteria within the biofilm will be released and eliminated by AMPs and monolaurin, thus preventing biofilm formation. ...
