Materials with an apatite structure were investigated in vitro in dental bone augmentation procedures. This scientific study aimed to compare nanosized hydroxyapatite (nHAp) and fluorapatite (nFAp) materials in the form of tablets in in vitro studies, including cytotoxicity assessment and fluoride release. The nHAp and nFAp nanosized materials were obtained using the microwave hydrothermal method. Subsequently, the tablets were prepared from these nanosized powders as further studied materials. Cytotoxicity tests were conducted on Balb/3T3 fibroblast cells and L929 cells. Fluoride ion release was tested at 3, 24, 48, 72, and 168 h periods. Both materials presented viability levels above 70%, indicating a lack of cytotoxic potential. The amount of fluoride (F) ions released and accumulated from nFAp was greatly higher than from nHAp. The release of F ions in both samples was the highest in the first 3 h of exposition. The accumulation of F ions reached the highest values in the deionized water. The most significant differences in the released or cumulated fluoride ions were observed between deionized water and lower 4.5 pH AS (artificial saliva) samples. Both nanosized hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite materials are biocompatible, and their in vitro examination showed promising results for their future in vivo application.

In this study, an innovative hydroxyapatite-titanium-magnesium oxide composite coating was successfully fabricated on TiAlV alloy using plasma spraying to enhance its mechanical and corrosion performance for biomedical applications. Granulation of nano-sized HA powder (~100 ± 20 nm) produced spherical agglomerates in the range of 5-20 µm, ensuring suitable flowability for uniform coating deposition. SEM analyses confirmed dense and crack-minimized layers for both pure HA (~105 µm thick) and composite (~98 µm thick) coatings.

Minimizing the risk of secondary caries in dentistry is achieved by using adhesive systems that provide a strong bond between the natural hard tissue and the restorative material. Evaluating the effectiveness of these systems requires studying both their interaction with dentin and enamel and their behavior in environments with varying acidity. In this work, the interaction of a reactive monomer, 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitic anhydride (4-META), used in adhesive systems with both dentin-like hydroxyapatite (HA) and hydroxyapatite ceramics, was investigated.

Although bone tissue has the ability to regenerate itself, this regeneration capacity may be limited in large defects or pathological conditions. The development of biomaterials and tissue scaffolds is of critical importance in supporting bone regeneration. In this context, polymer nanocomposites, which are increasingly gaining interest in bone tissue engineering, benefit from both the flexibility of the polymer and the mechanical strength of inorganic components by dispersing nano-sized fillers in the polymer matrix.
