EXPLANATORY NOTE
DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-140097) of Oragenics, Inc. (the "Company"), which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 19, 2007 (the "Registration Statement").
 
The Company's obligation to file and maintain the Registration Statement initially arose pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 17, 2006 by and between the Company and IviGene Corporation whereby the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of IviGene Corporation and provided certain resale registration rights to stockholders of IviGene Corporation in connection with the transaction.
 
Because the unsold shares held by selling shareholders are able to be resold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the Company is no longer obligated to maintain the effectiveness of this Registration Statement and 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 185,186 shares originally registered, 92,593 were sold pursuant to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement and an aggregate of 92,593 have not been sold in reliance upon the Registration Statement and are the subject of this deregistration request.
 
As a result of the foregoing, and pursuant to the Company's undertaking in Item 17 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.
