Boka's toothpaste uses nano-hydroxyapatite (n-Ha) — an alternative to fluoride — as its active ingredient ...

Among the most widely studied fluoride alternative toothpastes is hydroxyapatite toothpaste, a biomimetic formulation designed to replicate the natural mineral composition of tooth enamel. Interest in ...

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have emerged as a promising component in oral health care, owing to their biomimetic properties that closely resemble the mineral composition of natural tooth enamel.

Fluoride may have found its match in preventing cavities. New research shows that toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite, one of the main mineral components in teeth, can prevent cavities as effectively ...

Hydroxyapatite is chemically similar to the mineral component of bones and hard tissues in mammals. It is one of few materials that are classed as bioactive, meaning that it will support bone ingrowth ...

In a recent article published in Frontiers in Public Health, researchers performed a randomized, double-blinded clinical trial of 18 months in adults enrolled at the Universities of Medical Sciences, ...

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Ivanhoe Newswire) - A new Texas study will determine whether or not an artificial mineral called mimetic hydroxyapatite can restore tooth enamel better than fluoride. Researchers ...

The beneficial biocompatible properties of hydroxyapatite are well documented. It is rapidly integrated into the human body, while at the same time the body is none the wiser as to the invasion by a ...

There may be a new use for that urine you've been so thoughtlessly flushing. Scientists say it could be an alternate source of a valuable bone- and tooth-repair material, with a little help from a ...

Just a decade ago, experimental work by Guerrier, Flayeux, and Boschetti demonstrated the ability of sodium chloride (NaCl) gradients on hydroxyapatite (HA) to remove aggregates from IgG preparations.
