Hydroxylapatite Nanoparticles General Description
Hydroxylapatite, a calcium phosphate, closely mirrors the composition and morphology of human hard tissue, and is nearly identical to bone apatite.
As such, hydroxylapatite displays critical distinctiveness related to its stability under physiological conditions related to how it relates to temperature and
pH composition of body fluids. Indeed, hydroxylapatite is highly valued for its biocompatibility, bioactivity, osteoconductivity, along with its non-toxic and
non-inflammatory nature, which makes it ideal for use in oral surgery procedures.
Hydroxylapatite Nanoparticles Applications
A revolutionary material, nano-hydroxylapatite is widely used in dentistry and favored for its restorative and preventative fields related to enamel retention,
which is viewed as far more effective than traditional fluorides. Due to its outstanding ability to chemically bind to bone tissue, without the problems
associated with toxicity and inflammation, nano-hydroxylapatite are a basic foundation of periodontology and oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Additional uses and applications include:
• Bone tissue engineering
• Dental implant coating
• Bone void fillers
• Desensitizing agent
• Remineralizing agent in toothpaste
• Early carious lesions treatment
Hydroxylapatite nanoparticles offer oral healthcare professionals options when it comes to helping their patients, and its use leads to better treatment results for those suffering from an array of oral health issues.
