The subject invention pertains to an evaporation strategy combined with low-molecular-weight polyacrylic acid (LPAA) to generate an antibacterial dental enamel-like structure. Polystyrene (PS) plates can be used as a removable substrate for the continuous growth of fluorapatite (FAP). The FAP-LPAA composition can be used to kill microorganisms. The LPAA contained dental enamel-like FAP provides an alternative to prevent secondary caries if a carious cavity is filled with shaped dental enamel-like FAP-LPAA.

A method of applying a two-part dental sealant is described comprising providing a syringe device (1) comprising a cartridge (10) including first and second chamber. The first chamber contains a first part of a dental sealant comprising a (meth)acrylate resin and an oxidizing curing agent. The second chamber contains a second part of a dental sealant comprising a (meth)acrylate resin and a reducing curing agent that reacts with the oxidizing curing agent of the first chamber. The first and/or second part of the dental sealant further comprise a single component or multiple components that neutralize acid and promote remineralization. The syringe device comprises a dispensing nozzle (17) comprising a static mixer and an outlet at one end of the cartridge and a plunger (20) at the opposing end of the cartridge. Also described is a kit for storing and applying the dental sealant is described.
