Summary
Nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) shows promise in dentistry for dental implants, tissue engineering, and esthetics. Further research is needed for bone engineering and caries prevention.
Area of Science:
- Biomaterials Science
- Dental Nanotechnology
- Regenerative Dentistry
Background:
- Nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) exhibits excellent biocompatibility and structural similarity to bone mineral.
- Its applications span implantology, surgery, periodontology, esthetics, and prevention in dentistry.
Purpose of the Study:
- To comprehensively review nano-HA applications in dentistry.
- To promote the use of nanomaterials in dental treatments.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of 32 studies published in Scopus and PubMed over a 5-year period.
- Keywords used: 'nano-HA' and 'dentistry'.
Main Results:
- Nano-HA serves as a coating for titanium implants, enhancing osteointegration and exhibiting antibacterial properties.
- In tissue engineering, it functions as a grafting material for surgery and periodontology.
- Applications in esthetics and prevention include treating dentinal hypersensitivity, remineralization, and as a bleaching co-agent.
Conclusions:
- Nano-HA possesses superior properties for various dental interventions compared to traditional materials.
- Further investigation is warranted for its role in bone engineering and caries prevention.
