Nano-hydroxyapatite and bioactive glass dental repair and whitening solution

Overview

This innovative dental solution leverages the combined effects of nano-hydroxyapatite and bioactive glass to enhance dental aesthetics and health. The bioactive glass releases essential calcium and phosphorus ions, facilitating tooth remineralization, while nano-hydroxyapatite directly fills and seals damaged enamel surfaces. This dual action increases tooth hardness, smooths the enamel surface, and enhances gloss, resulting in visibly whiter and healthier teeth.

Technical specifications

Key features:

• Bioactive glass provides necessary ions for remineralization, crucial for repairing tooth enamel.
• Nano-hydroxyapatite acts as a filler to seal enamel surface imperfections, improving smoothness and gloss.
• Designed to increase tooth hardness and overall aesthetic appearance.
• Utilizes a unique formulation tested on bovine teeth to validate its efficacy in enhancing whiteness and enamel integrity.

Technology readiness level

Currently at TRL 3, this technology has been validated through laboratory-scale experiments. Future plans include in vitro abrasive testing and human sensitivity assessments to further evaluate effectiveness and consumer compatibility.
