The present invention relates to the field of medicinal tissue mineralisation, in particular, i.e. tooth remineralisation and bone regeneration with self-assembling peptides. Use of self-assembling peptides, such as P11-4, also designated Oligopeptide-104, in these processes leads to generation of hydroxyapatite, which is also present in natural enamel, dentin and bone. The inventors have discovered that both tooth remineralisation and bone regeneration can be significantly accelerated by adding amorphous calcium phosphate or calcium and phosphate ions that, when mixed in solution, can lead to immediate precipitation of calcium phosphate, preferably, amorphous, i.e., non-crystalline calcium phosphate. The presence of self-assembling peptide however changes the structure of the precipitated calcium phosphate, and advantageously induces crystallisation and a synergistic accelerated formation of crystalline calcium phosphate, in particular, hydroxyapatite (HA). The invention thus provides a kit comprising, a self-assembling peptide and either calcium and phosphate ions in separate compositions suitable for immediately forming calcium phosphate precipitates, e.g., amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), if the compositions are mixed in the presence of water, or calcium phosphate particles, preferably, in the form of a suspension of calcium phosphate particles comprising at least 50% ACP. The invention also provides medical use of said kit, in particular, for in the tooth for remineralisation of lesions, mineralisation of pits and fissures, pulp capping, and for bone regeneration.

PESONAL DENTAL CARE PRODUCT FOR PREVENTING DEMINERALISATION
The present invention provides new dental care products comprising self-assembling peptides that are capable of undergoing self-assembly at a certain pH that are useful in dental care, in particular, useful for reducing or preventing demineralisation of teeth of a subject, in particular, for reducing or preventing further demineralisation of teeth of a subject. The dental care products comprises self-assembling peptides, in particular, comprise self-assembling peptides comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 21, that are capable of undergoing self-assembly at a pH below 7.5, wherein the self-assembling peptides are essentially present in the dental care product in assembled form, and a pharmaceutically acceptable basis. The dental care product is an essentially solid product selected from the group consisting of chewing gum, soft chew, toffee, gelatin gum, chewy candy, chew toy, lozenge. Preferably, it is a chewy product. The dental care product is not abrasive. The dental care product is useful for reducing or preventing (further) demineralisation of a tooth surface of a subject with demineralised teeth, e.g., or a subject with xerostomia, hyopsalivation, bruxism, gastroesophageal reflux disease, dentine hypersensitivity and/or tooth erosion. Preferably, it is also useful for cleaning the tooth surface. Products of the invention are useful for animals and humans. The invention also provides a process for preparing the dental care products of the invention. The invention enables non-targeted treatment of a plurality of teeth, and it is independent of the diagnosis of caries.
The invention is in the field of caries prevention and treatment, in particular minimally-invasive, or non-invasive dental decay treatment. It relates to a composition and a kit comprising a self-assembling peptide, such as the self-assembling peptide P11-4 or P11-8, and a dental agent, namely a dental sealant, e.g. a glass-ionomer cement-based sealant or a resin-based sealant, a fluoride varnish, a dental restorative material or a bonding agent. The invention further relates to a composition and kit comprising a self-assembling peptide and a dental agent for use in the treatment of a carious lesion, preferably a cavitated carious lesion. The self-assembling peptide prevents secondary caries after failure of the dental agent used in treatment of cavitated caries, especially in case of a failing interface between the restoration with the dental agent and the tooth. The composition and kit of the present invention may also be used for pulp capping.
