It has also found application in conservative dentistry and dental surgery, in particular, as components of toothpaste and mouth rinse, coatings of dental implants, cements, and bone substitute materials for the restoration of cavities in maxillofacial surgery. In dental applications, the most important role is played by hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite, i.e., calcium phosphates characterized by the highest chemical stability and very low solubility. This paper presents the role of both apatites in dentistry and a review of recent achievements in the field of the application of these materials. Keywords: hydroxyapatite; fluorapatite; dentistry; calcium phosphates 1. Introduction In recent decades, one has been able to observe huge progress in the field of dentistry. This results not only from the development of dental techniques and methods of therapy but also from significant developments in biomaterial engineering. The science of biomaterials is constantly increasing due to innovative modifications of already known materials or completely new biomaterials for applications in dentistry. Biodegradable polymers, bioactive ceramics, bioglass or metals covered with a layer of material facilitating osseointegration and, above all, composite materials are the main directions in the development of dental biomaterials [1–4]. One of the more widely studied groups of materials comprises inorganic calcium phosphates (CaPs). It is worth noting that synthetic calcium phosphate material was first used to repair and regenerate bone tissue in 1920 by Albee, who employed crystalline calcium phosphate to repair surgically induced bone defects in rabbits [5–7]. Bioceramics based on calcium phosphate began to enjoy greater interest only at the end of the 1960s, when they were seen as biomaterials that could induce the reconstruction and repair of bone defects [8]. In the 1970s, researchers began to pay attention to the use of calcium phosphates in dental surgery. Particularly noteworthy is the work of Denissen and de Groot, in which cylinders made of hydroxyapatite (HA) were used as dental implants. In the 1980s, synthetic calcium phosphates were permanently introduced in implantology, and the research on the use of natural CaPs accelerated [7]. Currently, the possibility of using calcium phosphates as carriers of biologically active substances is being sought [7,9–11]. The reason why CaPs are such a popular object of research and applications is their similarity to the inorganic fraction of mineralized tissues, i.e., bone, enamel, dentin and cementum [7,12,13]. 1.1. Dental Mineralized Tissues Enamel is the tissue that covers the crown of the tooth (Figure1). It consists of thin, corrugated and very elongated structural subunits which run through the entire thickness of the enamel-these Materials 2019, 12, 2683; doi:10.3390/ma12172683 www.mdpi.com/journal/materials Materials 2019, 12, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 16 Materials 2019, 12, 2683 2 of 16 are called enamel prisms and are of an inter-prismatic substance.

Coutinho Instituto de Geociências, Universidade de São Paulo, Rua do Lago, 562, 05508-080 – São Paulo, SP, Brazil. *e-mail: [email protected] Luiz A.D. Menezes Filho Rua Esmeralda, 534 – Prado, 30410-080 - Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. INTRODUCTION The three currently recognized members of the roscherite group are roscherite (Mn2+ analog), zanazziite (Mg analog), and greifensteinite (Fe2+ analog). These three species are monoclinic but triclinic variations have also been described (Fanfani et al. 1977, Leavens et al. 1990). Previously reported Brazilian occurrences of roscherite-group minerals include the Sapucaia mine, Lavra do Ênio, Alto Serra Branca, the Córrego Frio pegmatite, the Lavra da Ilha pegmatite, and the Pirineus mine. We report here the following three additional occurrences: the Pomarolli farm, Lavra do Telírio, and São Geraldo do Baixio. We also note the existence of a fourth member of the group, an as-yet undescribed monoclinic Fe3+-dominant species with higher refractive indices. The formulas are as follows, including a possible formula for the new species: Roscherite Ca2Mn5Be4(PO4)6(OH)4 • 6H2O Zanazziite Ca2Mg5Be4(PO4)6(OH)4 • 6H2O 2+ Greifensteinite Ca2Fe 5Be4(PO4)6(OH)4 • 6H2O 3+ 3+ Fe -dominant Ca2Fe 3.33Be4(PO4)6(OH)4 • 6H2O ■ 1 ■ Axis, Volume 1, Number 6 (2005) www.MineralogicalRecord.com ■ ■ THE OCCURRENCES Alto Serra Branca, Pedra Lavrada, Paraíba Unanalyzed “roscherite” was reported by Farias and Silva (1986) from the Alto Serra Branca granite pegmatite, 11 km southwest of Pedra Lavrada, Paraíba state, associated with several other phosphates including triphylite, lithiophilite, amblygonite, tavorite, zwieselite, rockbridgeite, huréaulite, phosphosiderite, variscite, cyrilovite and mitridatite.

  • Tavistockite and Bialite Discredited
    MINERALOGICAL MAGAZINE, MARCH 1969, VOL. 37, NO. 285 Tavistockite and bialite discredited P. G. EMBREY AND E. E. FEJER Department of Mineralogy, British Museum (Natural History) SUMMARY. Specimens of tavistockite fall into two groups: true tavistockite from the George and Charlotte mine, Tavistock, Devon, and wavellite from the Stenna Gwyn mine, St. Austell, Cornwall. Both were sold as tavistockite by the discoverer, Richard TaIling. Tavistockite proper is a fluorapatite, as shown by optical and X-ray examination, and the alumina and water in the original analysis are certainly derived from kaolinite with which the apatite is intimately associated. The published optical properties attributed to tavistockite were determined by E. S. Larsen on Stenna Gwyn material, and are those of wavellite. Re-examination of a portion of Buttgenbach's type bialite, which he related to tavistockite on optical grounds, shows it to be wavellite. TAVISTOCKITE has been a doubtful species from the time it was first described in 1865 by A. H. Church! as 'Hydrated Calcium-aluminic Phosphate (?)'. Its apparent validity has been established by successive appearances in all the standard works on systematic mineralogy, starting with J. D. Dana's renaming as tavistockite in 1868.2 The present study is perhaps as much historical as mineralogical, since Church's original material cannot be traced and other specimens present a confused picture both in naming and in locality. We have studied seventeen specimens (see table) that are or have at one time been labelled tavistockite, and find that they fall into two distinct groups that may readily be characterized by the mineral assemblages present.

  • Enhanced Remineralisation of Tooth Enamel Using Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Complex: a Review
    Review Article Int J Clin Prev Dent 2018;14(1):1-10ㆍhttps://doi.org/10.15236/ijcpd.2018.14.1.1 ISSN (Print) 1738-8546ㆍISSN (Online) 2287-6197 Enhanced Remineralisation of Tooth Enamel Using Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Complex: A Review Nidhi Chhabra, Anuj Chhabra Department of Dental Surgery, North DMC Medical College and Hindu Rao Hospital, Delhi, India The protective effects of milk and milk products against dental caries, due to micellar casein or caseinopeptide derivatives, have been demonstrated in various animal and human in situ studies. Among all the remineralising agents, casein phospho- peptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) technology has shown the most promising scientific evidence to support its use in prevention and reversal of carious lesions. CPP-ACP complex acts as a calcium phosphate reservoir and buffer the activities of free calcium and phosphate ions in the plaque. Calcium phosphate stabilized by CPP produces a metastable sol- ution supersaturated with respect to the amorphous and crystalline calcium phosphate phases, thereby depressing enamel demineralisation and enhancing mineralisation. CPP-ACP provides new avenue for the remineralisation of noncavitated ca- ries lesions. The objective of this article was to review the clinical trials of CPP-ACP complex and highlight its evidence based applications in dentistry. Keywords: remineralisation, casein derivatives, casein phospho peptide-amorphous calcium phosphate Introduction from an imbalance in the physiological process of remineralisa- tion/demineralisation of the tooth structure and results in the Recent scientific advances in restorative materials, techni- formation of a subsurface lesion [1].

Although precipitation of whitlockite phase has been reported recently in many publications, effects of various parameters to control such phase as well as conditions for the bulk preparation of this extremely important bio-mineral have not been investigated so far. In this work, we report the precipitation of pure whitlockite phase using common precursors. As reported in the literature, whitlockite is stable in a narrow pH range, therefore; optimization of pH for the stabilization of whitlockite phase has been investigated. Additionally, in order to narrow down the optimum conditions for the whitlockite precipitation, effect of temperature and heating conditions has also been studied. The obtained solids were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
