Many kinds of soluble calcium salts such as calcium lactate are known to reduce the enamel demineralization. In this study, calcium lactate was tested for its effect on the demineralization process of hydroxyapatite. Synthetic hydroxyapatites were used as a standardized material instead of human enamel which is rarely heterogenous. And, for the purpose of hydroxyapatite demineralization, lactic acid was used. By comparing the weight of hydroxyapatite pre-demineralization and post-demineralization, it was possible to examine the effect of calcium lactate on demineralization. The weight of demineralized hydroxyapatite was reduced by about 46% and 59% with 20mM and 40mM calcium lactate, respectively. In conclusion, low concentrations of calcium lactate showed an inhibitory effect on the demineralization of synthetic hydroxyapatite.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is well known as a biocompatible and bioactive material. HA has been practically applied as bone graft materials in a range of medical and dental fields. In this study, two types of dense hydroxyapatite ceramics were prepared from natural bones and synthetic materials. The biocompatibility of HA ceramics for supporting osteoblast cell growth and cytotoxicity using an in vitro MG-63 cell line model were respectively evaluated. Artificial hydroxyapatite shows relative density of 93% with 1-2 ${\mu}m$ after sintering, but a hydroxyapatite compact derived from bovine bone has low sintered density of 85% with a small content of MgO. Irrespective of the starting raw materials, both types of sintered hydroxyapatite displayed similar biocompatibility in the tests. FE-SEM observations showed that most MG-63 cells had a stellar shape and formed an intercellular matrix containing fibers on sintered HA. The cells were well attached and grown over the HA surface, indicating that there was no toxicity.

This study was performed to compare the anticarious effect of the different fluoride adsorbed(Naf, $NH_4F, Na_2PO_3F, SnF_2, TiF_4$) on synthetic hydroxyapatite and enamel. The amount of fluoride adsorbed in synthetic hydroxyapatite under various concentrations and pH of these fluoride solutions was measured by specific electrode. Enamel samples treated with 5 kinds of 1,000ppm fluoride solutions for 10 minutes were evaluated for fluoride uptake and enamel soubility. The results were as follows. 1. The adsorption of fluoride on synthetic hydroxyapatite increased gradually by the concentration of the fluoride solution, In 1,000ppm fluoride solution, the adsorption of fluoride on synthetic hydroxyapatite treated with NH4F and NaF solutions at pH 4.0 was relatively higher than that of other fluoride solutions. In NH4F and NaF solutions, the adsorption of fluoride on powdered enamel was higher at pH 4.0 solution than at pH 7.0 solution. 2. Fluoride uptake from NH4F solution was relatively high. But that from $Na_2PO_3F$ solution was lower than those from other fluoride solutions. 3. Fluoride solutions were significantly effective on enhancing acid resistance. $NH_4F$ solution was relatively more effective than others on enhancing acid resistance. 4. $SnF_2 and TiF_4$ solutions had the same effect on fluoride adsorption, fluoride uptake, and enamel solubility.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the crystal growth onto enamel mineral and synthetic hydroxyapatite seeds in media resembling the enamel fluid composition. Effects of fluoride at low concentrations on the precipitation were also examined in a benchtop crystal growth model adopting a miniaturized reaction column. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), as well as chemical analyses, were employed for characterization of both seed materials before and after experimentation. Remarkable findings were that (1) both biological and synthetic seeds at the same total surface areas yielded rather similar precipitation rates at all levels of fluoride concentration in solution and (2) the precipitation rate was accelerated in a manner depending on fluoride concentrations in media. FTIR differential analysis disclosed that the precipitating phase was characterized as poorly crystallized apatite, which incorporated subtle carbonate. Most of the fluoride ions in soution were readily incorporated into crystals. The overall results support the view that the seeded crystal growth model is of value to gain insight into the mechanism of enamel crystal growth under fluoride regimens.

Ultra-fine hydroxyapatite powders were synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of Ca(OH)2 suspension or Ca(NO3)2$.$4H2O solution with (NH4)2HPO4 solution, and the powders were characterized for each synthetic condition. Crystalline hydroxyapatite powders have average grain size of less than 50 nm. By increasing the reaction pressure, the crystallinity was improved, and the crystals were preferentially growing along c-axis. When Ca(NO3)2$.$4H2O of high solubility was used, hydroxyapatite of single phase was produced. However when Ca(OH)2 of low solubility was used more than 0.334 mol/ι, unreacted Ca(OH)2 remained. Diffraction spot patterns of transmission electron microscope show that powders synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction were composed of single crystals of hexagonal phase.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pH, temperature and time on the synthesis of hydroxyapatite(HAP) by spontaneous precipitation under relatively physiologic condition. Specimens were obtained from aqueous system with various pH, temperature and experimental time. Chemical composition, crystallographic structure and crystallinity of the synthetic HAP were evaluated by Infrared spectroscopy and powdered X-ray diffraction method. The following results were obtained. 1. No precipitate was obtained under pH 5.5. 2. All the specimens were concluded as HAP except one that was obtained under the condition of pH 6.5, $25^{\circ}C$ and 1 day. It was concluded as dicalcium phosphate dihydrate(DCPD). 3. The crystallinity of HAP was enhanced by increases in pH, temperature and time of the preparation. But, the crystallinity of the synthetic HAP was lower than that of the mineral HAP. 4. Intermediates such as DCPD and octacalcium phosphate were formed on the process of the synthesis of HAP.

$Ca(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$와 $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$를 사용하여 습식침전법으로 수산화아파타이트(HAp) 분말을 합성하고, 합성된 HAp와 폴리아크릴산(PAA)을 혼합하여 균질의 복합체 4종을 제조하였다. 합성 HAp는 ICP 분석으로 Ca/P비를 정량하였고, HAp/PAA 복합체는 TGA로 열적 성질을 조사하였다. pH 11 및 $60{\circ}C$에서 합성된 HAp의 결정성이 가장 우수하였고, Ca/P비는 1.35~1.49의 범위로 정량되어 Ca 결손의 HAp를 얻었다. HAp/PAA 복합체에서 PAA의 양이 증가함에 따라 비표면적이 증가하였다. 또한 HA/PAa 균질복합체의 $800{\circ}C$에서 무게감량은 3.5~9.6%의 범위로 감소하여 바인더인 PAA가 분해되는 것을 알 수 있었다. HAp/PAA 복합체의 FT-IR 분석결과, HAp의 $Ca^{2+}$ 이온과 PAA의 카르복실기 사이에서 이온결합이 형성되는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

The Hydroxyapatite powders were prepared by Wet-direct and Hydrothermal synthesis using Ca(NO3)2.4H2O and (NH4)2.HPO4.Stoichiometric and good cristalline HAp powders were obtained 9$0^{\circ}C$ by wet-direct process. The aspect ratio of HAp powders prepared by hydrothermal synthesis was increased with increasing synthetic temperature. The HAp particles obtained at 20$0^{\circ}C$ for 10hr were needle shaped ultra fine crystals, about 100nm in size. Small amount of TCP was obtained above 80$0^{\circ}C$ after heat-treatment of hydrothermally synthesized HAp but good crystalline HAp phase was maintained up to 120$0^{\circ}C$ as the primary phase.

In order to prepare the porous hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics with different porosity, interconnectivity, mechanical properties, surface chemistry and tissue response, several methods have been developed. Of the different forms of Porous HA ceramics which were prepared by various methods, only the coralline HA has undergone major clinical applications in orthopaedic, maxillofacial and ophthalmic surgery. In this study, totally synthetic macroporous HA ceramics with various pore size distribution were prepared. It is shown that the new reticulate HA ceramics, comprised of interconnected voids surmunded by a web of ceramic, have a morphology which mimics that of human trabecular bone.
