Article Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an important component of the bone mineral phase. It has been used in several applications, such as bone regenerative medicine, tooth implants, drug delivery and oral care cosmetics. In the present study, three different batches of a commercial nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) material were physicochemically-characterized and biologically-evaluated by means of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity using appropriate cell lines based on well-established guidelines (ISO10993-5 and OECD 487). The nHAs were characterized for their size and morphology by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and were found to have a rod-like shape with an average length of approximately 20 to 40 nm. The nanoparticles were cytocompatible according to ISO 10993-5, and the in vitro micronucleus assay showed no genotoxicity to cells. Internalization by MC3T3-E1 cells was observed by TEM images, with nHA identified only in the cytoplasm and extracellular space. This result also validates the genotoxicity since nHA was not observed in the nucleus. The internalization of nHA by the cells did not seem to affect normal cell behavior, since the results showed good biocompatibility of these nHA nanoparticles. Therefore, this work is a relevant contribution for the safety assessment of this nHA material.

MFeO (M = Co and Mn) nanoparticles were synthesized from coconut coir extract using a microwave-assisted co-precipitation method, representing a green and sustainable approach for ferrite nanomaterial preparation. The physical properties of the samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence, Raman spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry. Scanning electron micrographs revealed nanoscale morphology with evidence of polymorphism.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and characterize biodegradable nanofibrous scaffolds composed of poly(L-co-D,L-lactic acid) (PLDLA), nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) synthesized from recycled mussel shells, and nanoemulsified chlorhexidine (nCHX) for guided periodontal regeneration (GPR).
Methods: nHA was synthesized from Perna perna mussel shells via wet chemical precipitation and characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, Raman, TGA, and zeta potential. Electrospun PLDLA/polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds were functionalized with nHA and/or nCHX.

To compare the effect of Nanohydroxy apatite (NHA), Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), CPP-ACP with fluoride (CPP-ACPF), versus fluoride gel on remineralization and color improvement of white spot lesions (WSLs) after clinical application followed by home treatment. Thirty-two children from 10 to 14 years with 100 teeth were participated in this study. Affected teeth were randomly allocated into five groups (n = 20); group I: NHA, group II: CPP-ACP, group III: CPP-ACP + F, group: IV: Fluoride gel and group V: no treatment.

Osteoarthritis and metastatic bone cancers create pathological oxidative environments characterized by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS impair bone regeneration by degrading the scaffold and suppressing mineralization. To address these challenges, we fabricated thermoresponsive scaffolds based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) incorporating in situ-grown nanohydroxyapatite on graphene oxide nanoscrolls (nHA-GONS) using stereolithography (SLA).
