Background
Led to the caries rate skyrocketed.
Up to 3500 million people have oral problem
47% of adults aged over 30 years have some form of periodontal disease
Up to 3500 million people have oral problem
47% of adults aged over 30 years have some form of periodontal disease
The dogs older than three years old
Up to 80% of dogs have some form of periodontal disease
One of our main goals is the development of a detection that is based on machine learning.Customize the period of time feeding DenTeeth and improve the effect of DenTeeth by detecting the amount of bacteria in a single dog's mouth.
In DenTeeth, antimicrobial peptides are used to sterilize.We use antimicrobial peptide LL-37, which activates autophagy and leads to cell death.
Based on previous studies, the bacteria on the teeth surface form biofilms which leads to the formation of tartar. In order to solve this problem, we introduce arginine into our project, which is able to reduce the formation of biofilms and reduce the odors as well.
Beside eliminating the main factor forming oral problems, repair of teeth and periodontal are also important.
After the amount of bacteria is below a certain value,the mechanism of repair will open, several proteins which can repair damaged gingiva or tooth tissue would be expressed.
Next, our goal is to solve the oral health problem in humans.
