Rod? Sounds unlikely.
Context:
The 'magic' fluid was designed by researchers in the University of Leeds' School of Chemistry, led by Dr Amalia Aggeli. It contains a peptide known as P 11-4 that -- under certain conditions -- will assemble together into fibres. In practice, this means that when applied to the tooth, the fluid seeps into the micro-pores caused by acid attack and then spontaneously forms a gel. This gel then provides a 'scaffold' or framework that attracts calcium and regenerates the tooth's mineral from within, providing a natural and pain-free repair.
P - eleven - four.
Like it's three words:
P (the letter)
11 (the number)
4 (the number)

The horizontal bar always ignored?
Thanks
@oristarA,
I don't think anyone would say the "dash". The dash is assumed because you separate the numbers out to eleven and four instead of saying one hundred and fourteen.
For instance, when a person is quoting the Bible they would say Genesis 2: 18 as Genesis two eighteen, not Genesis two colon eighteen.

Both you and JTT are right. It depends on circumstances.
@oristarA,
Personally I would say "dash" although I think you are correct in that either way would get the message across.
Stumble It!
