Hydroxyapatite in Oral Care Products
Edit
This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper 10.3390/ma14174865

Calcium phosphate compounds form the inorganic phases of our mineralised tissues such as bone and teeth, playing an important role in hard tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In dentistry and oral care products, hydroxyapatite (HA) is a stable and biocompatible calcium phosphate with low solubility being used for various applications such as tooth remineralisation, reduction of tooth sensitivity, oral biofilm control, and tooth whitening.

1. Introduction

Dental caries is a global disease affecting all ages and sectors of the population. Dental caries remains the most common chronic bacterial driven disease despite advancements in early detection and treatment [1]. According to a study by The Global Burden of Disease in 2017, it is estimated that 2.3 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth and more than 530 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth [2]. Untreated caries can progress into the tooth pulp, lead to dental abscesses, cause significant pain and suffering, and ultimately tooth loss [1]. Dental caries is caused by the action of acids on the enamel surface. The acids are produced as a byproduct from bacteria in the dental biofilm (plaque) metabolising the sugars in foods or drinks [1]. The produced acid leads to a loss of calcium and phosphate from the enamel; this process is called demineralization [1]. The gingiva can also become inflamed in response to plaque irritation, diagnosed as gingivitis [3]. The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 also reported that the prevalence of severe periodontal (gum) diseases affect almost 10% of the global population [2]. Consequently, controlling oral microbial biofilms on the tooth surface is essential to prevent the progression of caries and periodontal disease.
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bioactive and non-toxic ceramic that has a close analogy to the inorganic portion of human teeth and bone. It is arranged in a typical lattice structure with the chemical formulation of (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) [4]. Depending on the manufacturing technique employed, various synthetic apatites are produced today [5]. HA used for biomedical applications is chemically prepared to achieve tailored properties such as chemical purity, crystal morphology, and crystal size [5]. HA’s bioactive, non-toxic, and osteoconductive properties mean it can form direct chemical bonds with living tissues. Thus, HA is a bioceramic that is widely used as an implantable material in dentistry, maxillofacial and orthopaedic surgery to repair bone defects and as a coating material for metallic implants [6]. Studies of the osteogenesis effectiveness of HA-based coatings have shown favourable results, however, their validity has been critically considered [7]. Most of these favourable results were observed in in vitro studies rather than clinical and in vivo studies, and there is a demand for more standardised comparison criteria of the published research to draw sound clinical conclusions [7]. It has also been noted that the clinical effectiveness is dependent on the specific geometry, pore size, and degradation rate of the HA, whereby a smaller particle size is desirable [8].
The biocompatibility of nano-HA has also made it attractive as a potential novel reinforcing filler in composite restorations [9]. However, so far, nano-HA has been shown to be clinically unsuitable due to high water uptake, high refractive index and hence light scattering [9]. Therefore, no significantly improved properties compared to conventional composites with regard to tooth mechanical properties and biofilm protection [9]. However, there is suggestive more promise with smaller HA particles and increasing total filler amount [9].
The external layer of human teeth, the enamel, is composed of 97% inorganic component, and the dentine is composed of 70% inorganic component; these inorganic phases are mainly made up of HA [10][11]. In the past 50 years, calcium phosphate for daily oral care has been thoroughly researched, especially in preventative dentistry. HA can be extracted from various natural resources such as bovine, ovine, porcine bone and marine structures [12][13][14][15][16]. Trace elements such as zinc, sodium, magnesium and carbonate present in some natural sources of HA have been found to mimic the apatite produced from human bone and influence the physical properties of HA such as crystal structure, morphology and solubility, and also the thermal stability [4]. Naturally sourced HA can also be a more environmentally friendly, sustainable, and economical substitute than synthetic HA [12]. However, using naturally sourced HA in oral care products has not been investigated.
HA dentifrice with synthetic HA for teeth brushing was first produced by NASA (U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Authority) as a repairing material for the astronauts who lost minerals in their teeth and bones due to the absence of gravity in 1970. In 1978, the Japanese company Sangi Co. Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) developed the world’s first enamel restorative dentifrice. In 1993, nano-HA was approved as an anti-caries agent. Since then, in 2003, nano-HA particle size has been reduced from 100 to 50 nanometers, making it more effective at penetrating below the surface of the enamel [11][17]. Moreover, HA has also been incorporated into oral rinses and gels for oral home care to aid remineralisation and biofilm control [18][19][20].
The ideal properties of a dentifrice include minimal abrasive effect, non-irritating, non-toxic, non-staining, protects against caries and biofilm formation, while being cost-effective and readily available [21]. Many studies have been conducted to test the efficacy of HA, especially in enamel and dentine remineralisation, biofilm control, reducing dentine sensitivity, and tooth whitening [5][10][11][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Currently, only a few reviews report on nanomaterial in oral care products or HA in dentistry which includes restorative, preventative, and regenerative applications [5][10][11][31][32].

2. Hydroxyapatite in Oral Care Products

As HA is naturally found in enamel and dentine, synthetic HA is incorporated into dental products in various examples such as dental cement, fillings, and oral care products, including dentifrice, mouthwash, and gels [8]. HA can be synthesised in different crystallite morphologies such as spherical or needle-like and particle sizes (micro to nano) [5][33]. Currently, there are two types of HA; the nanocrystalline and the microcluster form, both nano and micro-HA are available in oral care products [10][30]. The inorganic component of enamel is made of HA crystallites in the range of ~50 nm in diameter [34]. HA crystallites are tightly packed and strictly organised as enamel prisms [5]. Micro-HA particles are about 5–10 microns in size, and this is significantly larger than enamel HA and dentinal tubules. Therefore these are not as effective in remineralisation and in reducing sensitivity [5].
Nano-HA particle size ranges from 20–100 nm, with a rod-shaped morphology resembling those in natural enamel (Figure 1) [11][22][35]. Nano-HA have a high affinity to bind to substances due to an increased surface area which may improve remineralisation and reduce sensitivity as HA with a 20–50 nm size matches the nano-sized defects due to acidic erosion at the enamel surface [32][36]. Nano-HA are also thought to be more effective than micro-HA in biofilm management. The interaction with microorganisms is only possible if the particles involved are smaller than the microorganisms. Nano-size particles are small enough to directly interact with the bacterial membrane [19][32].

There are currently many toothpastes available in the market claiming to prevent dental caries, gum disease, desensitisation, tooth whitening, and remineralisation of dental hard tissues such as dentine and enamel. The anti-dental caries properties of these kinds of toothpaste are primarily based on potassium nitrates, triclosan, stannous chloride, zinc salt and fluoride compounds such as sodium fluoride, sodium monofluorophosphate, stannous fluoride. For the past few years, HA-based toothpastes have attracted more interest in the market and from manufacturers due to their biocompatibility with hard tissue and substituting capability [37][38][39]. Table 1 summarises the description of commercially available HA-based toothpastes. However, these products are still not as readily available as other products due to higher costs and limited clinical studies.
