This paper presents a simple method for the rapid synthesis of magnetite/hydroxyapatite composite particles. In this method, superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles are first synthesized by coprecipitation using ferrous chloride and ferric chloride. Immediately following the synthesis, carbonate-substituted (B-type) hydroxyapatite particles are mechanochemically synthesized by wet milling dic...

Template-assisted electrohydrodynamic atomisation (TAEA) spraying of nanometer-sized siliconsubstituted hydroxyapatite (nanoSiHA) was used to pattern implant surfaces for guided cell growth to improve the repair and regeneration of medical implants. A suspension of nanoSiHA was prepared and characterized. Patterns of pillars and tracks of various dimensions were prepared using the suspension. I...

OBJECTIVE This clinical study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of a commercially available toothpaste containing potassium nitrate, sodium monoflurophosphate, and nano-hydroxyapatite as well as antioxidants phloretin, ferulic acid and silymarin in reducing dental hypersensitivity in adults. METHODS The clinical trial enrolled patients with a history of dentin hypersensitivity. A test toothpast...

Powders of sodium-carbonate co-substituted hydroxyapatite, having sodium content in the range of 0.25–1.5 wt.% with a 0.25 wt.% step, were prepared by a precipitation-solid state reaction route. Compacts of the powders were sintered in a CO2 flow (4 mL/min) at 1100 °C for 2 h. The sintered ceramics contained sodium and carbonate ions in the ranges of 0–1.5 wt.% and 1.3–6 wt.%, respectively, whi...

Nano hydroxyapatite and Silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite nanocomposites with various amount of Si contents (0, 2, 4 and 6 mole % as named as HS0, HS2, HS4 and HS6) were prepared via in situ hybridization method and were analyzed by XRD, FTIR, SEM and AFM techniques. Size distribution of the products demonstrated that hydroxyapatite particles size was between 2 and 53.5 nm with further mean si...

Highly porous chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CS/HA) biocomposite scaffolds were prepared using the freeze-gelation method. A starting biomimetic HA powder was synthesized by a wet precipitation method an abundant natural phosphate (NP) ore as raw material. Then, CS/HA with different weight ratios (100/0; 90/10; 80/20; 70/30) have been prepared. The used powders and characterized XRF, ICP-MS, FTIR, TG...

The main motive of the study is to analyze and compare crystallographic changes using X-Ray diffraction method for zinc substituted hydroxyapatite. Materials Methods: Different types hydroxyapatite are used. Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, chloride hexahydrate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate ammonium hydroxide solutions added they mixed with solution. ultrasonic was used carry precipitation method...

Effect of SiO2 addition on the microstructures of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite prepared by the heat-treatments was examined. Obtained hydroxyapatites substituted with Si ion were characterized by XRD, FT-IR and XAFS measurements. XANES results of Si K-edge and P K-edge in these modified hydroxyapatites indicated the shift of peaks of P K-edge with the SiO2 contents, although no change of Si...
