About

Hello! My name is Lovein Levin and my Polygence Project is on Impact of Acids and Sugary substances. I chose to work on this project because of my interest in Dentistry. After my project is complete, I am looking forward to publishing my paper and competing for awards.

Abstract or project description

Lovein's science project involves using eggshells as a surrogate for enamel to investigate the effects of different acids and sugary substances on dental health. Through a series of experiments, she will expose these eggshell models to varying acidic and sugary conditions, simulating the impact on teeth. This approach allows her to explore the potential harm that acids and sugars may inflict on dental enamel, providing insights into preventive measures against dental issues. Additionally, Lovein is conducting a thorough literature review, focusing on how acids interact with teeth, the development of dental caries, and the structural composition of enamel. By combining practical experimentation with a comprehensive understanding of existing research, Lovein aims to contribute to our knowledge of dental health and promote effective preventive strategies.
