Tooth sensitivity, tooth decay and treatment of its lesions is one of the challenges of dentistry. The nano hydroxyapatite material is used in the following cases, where samples of products containing this material can be seen here:
The entry of substances through microscopic channels on the surface of the tooth called dentin tubules directly causes nerve irritation and causes tooth pain. Hydroxyapatite has the ability to block dentine tubules, and by using it in toothpastes and other oral health products, in addition to improving tooth enamel regeneration, tooth sensitivity is also significantly reduced.
One of the characteristics of zinc oxide is its antimicrobial property at normal pH and in the absence of light. This nanoparticle has selective toxicity and can be used as an antimicrobial agent in oral and dental hygiene products.
Titanium dioxide is a pure white pigment. It has a high refractive index, meaning it reflects light and creates a very white product. Titanium dioxide is widely used in toothpaste, but most of the particles used are not small enough to be defined as nanoparticles.
Bioactive glass consists of a material that forms a bond with the hard tissue of bones and teeth, causing a suitable biological response from the tissue. These compounds are mainly used in the repair and improvement of damaged bone and tooth tissues, and unlike other medical products that do not interact with the body, the body becomes aware of the presence of this substance in the tooth and reacts to it.
