DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 relates to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-125660) of Oragenics, Inc. (the "Company"), which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 9, 2005, amended on December 5, 2006 and December 19, 2006, declared effective December 21, 2006, amended on June 20, 2007 and declared effective by the Commission on July 2, 2007 (the "Registration Statement").

The Company's obligation to file and maintain the Registration Statement initially arose pursuant to that Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 23, 2005 (the “Fusion Agreement”) by and between the Company and Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion Capital”) which enabled the Company to sell shares of its common stock to Fusion Capital.  The Company also included in the original Registration Statement the shares of other selling shareholders pursuant to piggyback registration rights.  The unsold shares held by selling shareholders were removed from subsequent amendments to the Registration Statement due to the availability of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

The Fusion Agreement expired and has been terminated in accordance with its terms.  Because the Fusion Agreement has terminated and Fusion Capital is no longer obligated to purchase shares of common stock from the Company and the Company is no longer obligated to maintain the effectiveness of this Registration Statement with respect to the shares of common stock that may have been acquired by Fusion Capital.  The Company has ceased use of the Registration Statement, and in connection with the termination of the Fusion Agreement, it is no longer necessary to maintain the Registration Statement.  The Company therefore desires that the Registration Statement be amended to remove all shares, previously registered thereby, that have not been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.  Of the 4,727,921 shares originally registered, 455,732 were sold pursuant to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement and an aggregate of 4,272,189 remain unsold which are the subject of this deregistration request.

As a result of the foregoing, and pursuant to the Company's undertaking in Item 28 of Part II of this Registration Statement, the Company requests and hereby applies for an order from the staff of the Commission granting the deregistration with respect to the unsold portion of securities registered in the Registration Statement in accordance with the Securities Act.
