Novel rechargeable calcium phosphate nanocomposite with antibacterial activity to suppress biofilm acids and dental caries

Conclusions The first CaP rechargeable and antibacterial composite was developed. Adding DMAHDM into the rechargeable NACP composite did not adversely affect the Ca and P ion release and recharge, and the composite had much less biofilm growth and lactic acid production, with CFU reduction by 3–4 log. Clinical significance This novel CaP rechargeable composite with long-term remineralization and antibacterial properties is promising for tooth restorations to inhibit caries.
