Antimicrobial Peptide–Polymer Conjugates for Dentistry [PDF]
ACS Applied Polymer Materials, 2020 Bacterial adhesion and growth at the composite/adhesive/tooth interface remain the primary cause of dental composite restoration failure. Early colonizers, including Streptococcus mutans, play a critical role in the formation of dental caries by creating an environment that reduces the adhesive's integrity.

Antimicrobial Polymer−Based Assemblies: A Review [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 An antimicrobial supramolecular assembly (ASA) is conspicuous in biomedical applications. Among the alternatives to overcome microbial resistance to antibiotics and drugs, ASAs, including antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and polymers (APs), provide formulations with optimal antimicrobial activity and acceptable toxicity.
