Dr. Jeffrey Hillman, previously of Oragenics. Looks like he retired just after we corresponded, no surprise there. He had a version of strepococcus mutans that not only did not dump lactic acid (the mechanism behind dental caries), but also secreted MU1140, helping it out-compete the "bad" strepococcus mutans in your mouth. Well, it's still in the pipeline, maybe, at https://www.oragenics.com/news-media/press-releases/detail/3... ... but right now you can still get Probiora3, which is more of a probiotic for your mouth, kind of the more viable piece, since a one-time treatment replacing bacteria is a little scary to some.
