Claims17
A method of treating an intraoral surface, the method comprising:
- applying a solution to the intraoral surface, and
- polymerizing the solution to form a protein hydrogel comprising a proteinaceous material in cross-linked form,
- wherein the solution comprises the proteinaceous material and an aldehyde.
A method of protecting and regenerating a dental pulp in a dental restorative procedure, the method comprising:
- preparing a tooth area to create a cavity having a cavity floor within a tooth wherein a remaining dentin thickness between the cavity floor and the dental pulp is less than about 0.5 mm,
- applying a solution to the cavity floor,
- allowing a polymerization reaction to occur to form a cross-linked biodegradable material derived from the solution, and
- filling the cavity with a restorative material,
- wherein the solution comprises a proteinaceous material and an aldehyde.
