Fluoridated dentifrices are considered as an effective method for preventing dental caries. Nano-hydroxyapatite crystals which have remineralizing potential can be combined with herbs with antimicrobial activity and used as a dentifrice without any risks like cytotoxicity and adverse effects. Nano-hydroxyapatite crystals are formulated by wet chemical precipitation method and tested using X-ray diffractometer. An herbal dentifrice is formulated from extract of Salvadora persica to which Nano-hydroxyapatite crystals are added. A 3x3mm wide window has been created in 14 extracted first premolars which are then processed through a pH cycling for 7 days. The depth of the lesion is assessed using a confocal microscope. The difference in mean depth of the lesion between test dentifrice (Herbal dentifrice with Hydroxyapatite) (240.33.± 23.47) and fluoride dentifrice (272.75±29.38) was found to be statistically significant. Herbal dentifrice with Hydroxyapatite group mean depth of the lesion was 763.13+66.18 before and 240.33+23.48 after the remineralization cycle. In the Fluoride dentifrice group the mean depth of the lesion is 763.14±66.18 before and 272.55+29.38 after the pH cycle. Herbal dentifrice incorporated with hydroxyapatite had higher remineralizing potential compared to a fluoride dentifrice.

Zn or Mg ions doped hydroxyapatite (HA) particles were successfully developed by introducing various concentration of Zn or Mg in the starting solution using wet chemical precipitation method and followed a hydrothermal treatment. The products were identified as HA by XRD and FTIR, and the precipitated particles had a rod-like morphology. All the products for Mg and Zn ions concentration in the preparation solution less than 40 mol% were identified as HA. Substitution of Mg and Zn in HA crystal would impair the crystallization of HA and significantly reduce the length of a, c values of HA unit cell, which clearly demonstrated that Mg or Zn ions were structurally incorporated into the apatite crystals, they were not just absorbed on the surface of crystals.

F-doped hydroxyapatite (FHAp, Ca10(PO4)6OH2-xF2x) was synthesized by two step technology – wet-chemical precipitation and pH-cycling. Obtained powders were dried and calcined for further characterization. FHAp were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. FT-IR analysis approved fluoride incorporation into HAp structure, confirmed by OH...F bonding at 3546 and 745 cm-1. SEM microphotographs showed, that as-synthesized FHAp precipitates consist of needle-like crystallites. UV-VIS spectroscopy results were used for the determination of actual F- substitution level. After evaluation of results it was concluded, that fluoride substitution level in FHAp structure reached only x≤0.6. To perform higher substitution level, the technological parameters of the process need to be optimized.

The main goal of this study was to evaluate the behavior of Sr- and/or Mg-containing hydroxyapatite (HAp) bioceramics in simulated body fluid (SBF). Sr-and/or Mg-containing HAp powders were synthesized by modified wet chemical precipitation method. Sr-and/or Mg-containing HAp bioceramics were prepared by uniaxial pressing of the precipitated powders and subsequent sintering at 1100 °C for 1 h. The synthesis products were characterized in terms of chemical, phase and molecular composition. Influence of the substitutions on thermal stability, morphology and microstructure of the HAp products were evaluated. Results suggest that incorporation of Sr (up to 1.45 wt.%) in HAp structure induced an increasing of particle sizes, but incorporation of Mg (up to 1.05 wt.%) led to a reduction of particle sizes of the HAp powders. The ability to simultaneously release bioactive ions and the apatite-formation ability of the Sr-and/or Mg-containing HAp bioceramics were evaluated through immersing the samples in SBF for different time periods. Ca ions release and apatite-formation ability on the surfaces of the Sr-and/or Mg-containing HAp bioceramics in SBF depends on Sr and/or Mg concentration in the samples.

Fe-doped hydroxyapatite bio-ceramic material has been successfully synthesized by wet chemical precipitation method using waste egg shell as Ca precursor and (NH4)2HPO4 as P precursor. Two different concentrations of doping solutions (0.1 M and 0.05 M) were chosen and the developed apatite was characterized by using FT-IR, XRF, XRD and SEM techniques. Observed data were in excellent agreement with the standard values for hydroxyapatite which indicated successful formation of the Fe- doped apatite of different concentrations.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjsir.v47i1.10711Bangladesh J.
