Caries is the localized destruction of dental hard tissue and has been diagnosed for all age groups. The most popular and conventional solution is regular brushing of teeth with effective toothpaste, capable to supply mouth cavity with extra Ca2+ and PO43- ions. Some of dentifrices and toothpastes containing hydroxyapatite (HAp) are in the market already, but there is a lack of information regarding the effective amounts that have been added to the toothpastes. Hence, the purpose of our study is to produce model toothpastes (mTP) with 5 wt%, 10wt% and 20wt% of calcium deficient HAp (CDHAp) and to observe the tooth enamel recovery.
