The company develops a family of dental tissue engineering products to treat and repair progressive destruction of tooth structure. The object is the preservation, repair or regrowth of natural dental tissue. Basically, the company has three programmes, the whole tooth regeneration programme intends to grow new permanent natural teeth as alternatives for conventional prosthetic devices such as dentures and dental implants, secondly, the company is developing two products, DTX.21 and DTX.DR-1 to induce dentin regeneration over vital pulp exposures (potential alternatives for up to 50% of root canal treatments), and thirdly, developing DTX.41 to improve the natural remineralisation process of teeth.
