Biomineralization of the Hydroxyapatite with 3D-Structure for Enamel Reconstruction

Abstract:

Tooth morphogenesis results from reciprocal interactions between oral epithelium and ectomesenchyme culminating in the formation of mineralized tissues, enamel, and dentin. Based on these basic theory, we design a organic molecules model to induced the crystallization of hydroxyapatite to synthesized tooth-like calcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite with 3D-structure in a controllable way in vitro. We observed that hydroxyapatite nanorods can be controlled followed by in situ phosphorylation process and triggered by conditions of pH and ionic strength. The results showed that he dentinal tubule were blocked by neonatal hydroxyapatite layer and this composite a continuous structure of columns crystal with size of 30-80nm. At the same time, XRD showed that the precipitation was calcium fluoride phosphate and Ca:P was 1.6. Furthermore, there were column crystal with parallel direction inside, as same as the crystal array in the top of enamel rod. The results suggest that collagen monolayer may be useful in the modulation of mineral behavior during in situ dental tissue engineering.
