The article presents the results of forty years of research on the use of Khavinson peptides in dentistry. The use of short peptides in the complex treatment of dental pathology contributed to the enhancement of reparative processes and, as a result, reduced rehabilitation time and complications after medical interventions in the oral cavity.
