Dr. Lippert conducts hard tissue caries research and predominantly focuses on the following areas:
- investigation of the mineral distribution of artificial and natural caries/white spot lesions
- understanding the impact of mineral distribution on lesion progression and remineralization
- investigation of the efficacy of novel anti-caries agents
- developing a thorough understanding of the role of fluoride in the caries process with particular emphasis on fluoride's response to lesions with different mineral distributions
