Various chemically and structurally modified calcium phosphates (CaP) are used in medicine and have a great interest among scientists representing different research areas. In recent years, CaP systems have been investigated for enhancement of tooth enamel remineralization. Strontium (Sr) and fluorine (F) co-substituted hydroxyapatite (SrFHAp) could be a good candidate for tooth enamel remineralization due to HAp structural similarity to mineral part of enamel, a long known anti-caries effect of fluorine and a potential of strontium as dentin desensitising agent. Therefore it is challenging to obtain partly co-substituted HAp with desired amount of fluorine and strontium in the apatite structure.
