This is some really cool stuff IMO, hope it works out and the dentists don't buy the patent and sit on it.........
Soon, there may be new way to prevent cavities - forever.
Jose Cordoba of Yale University and Erich Astudillo of Universidad de Santiago in Chile have discovered "Keep 32," a new chemical that may be able to keep your pearly whites pristine. Named after the 32 teeth in the human mouth, Keep 32 was able to get rid of all the bacteria that causes cavities in just 60 seconds, according to the Daily Mail.
The Chilean website Diario Financiero Online reports that the pair of researchers have been working since 2005 on finding the perfect formula. They have a provisional patent on the molecule and are looking for funding for their proposed 14 to 18-month human trials. They believe the product can earn $300 million in revenue within the first five years of operation.
"The molecule can not only be incorporated into a gum, but in products like toothpastes, mouthwashes, dental floss, candies, lollipops, dental night gel and others who items that can be kept inside the mouth for at least 60 seconds," Erich Astudillo, CEO of Top Tech Innovations, the company that holds the patent, said to DF.cl.
