Abstract
Electrophoresis is a versatile technique that allows for the separation of molecules based on their size and electrical charge. In the field of dentistry, electrophoresis is widely used in various applications, including the analysis of dental materials and proteins associated with diseases of the oral cavity. Through electrophoresis, it is possible to evaluate the size and distribution of filler particles within resin matrices, providing valuable information on the mechanical properties and durability of composite materials used in dental restorations. Furthermore, this technique has significantly contributed to the study of proteins implicated in oral diseases, such as dental caries and periodontitis. By effectively identifying and separating these proteins, researchers gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying these conditions, facilitating the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. Overall, the application of electrophoresis in dentistry has emerged as an indispensable tool for comprehensive analysis of dental materials and characterization of proteins associated with oral diseases.
