”Nano-Hydroxyapatite Unmasked: Debunking Myths and Harnessing Science for Improved Oral Health”

With Adam Van Sickle, RDH, MLS

Course Description:
Explore the history of Nano Hydroxyapatite (nHAp) development, from NASA's pioneering work in the 1970's to its diverse applications in the medical and dental fields over the past four decades. Delve into a comprehensive review of clinical studies validating nHAp as a proven remineralizing ingredient, with a spotlight on its remarkable efficacy. Gain valuable insights into additional research supporting nHAp's ability to effectively manage hypersensitivity, and discover the enhanced remineralization potential achieved when nHAp is combined with fluoride in toothpaste formulations. Don't miss this opportunity to stay at the forefront of dental innovation and elevate your clinical practice.

Course objectives:

At the conclusion of this course the participant will be able to:

  • Describe the science behind nHAp and applications in preventive oral care products.
  • Review 3rd party non-funded clinical studies supporting nHAp as a clinically proven enamel remineralizing ingredient.
  • Compare and contrast concentrations and particle sizes of nHAp toothpaste brands for their ethicality, and occurrence of enamel remineralization.
  • Recognize fluoride free (oral care) products are not FDA regulated.
  • Effectively communicate to patients the science behind nHAP as a clinically proven remineralizing ingredient when choosing oral care products
