Introduction to tooth enamel restoration

Enamel is an important part of teeth. Although damage to enamel cannot be seen on the surface, it still has a great impact on the human body. For example, it can cause tooth allergies, make teeth easily eroded by bacteria and form cavities, etc. Therefore, if the tooth enamel is damaged, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time and take repair measures to restore the health of your teeth. The specific method will be introduced below.

What is tooth enamel?

A tooth is composed of a crown, a neck, and a root. Enamel is located on the outer layer of the tooth crown, and is 96% hydroxyapatite. It is the hardest ossified tissue in the human body. Generally, it is a living tissue without feeling, and its metabolism process is slow. It mainly plays the role of protecting the internal structure of the tooth. Bright and intact enamel is a sign of healthy teeth.

Damage to tooth enamel

1. Damage to tooth enamel is a microscopic manifestation that is not easily detected by the naked eye, but it can cause some secondary symptoms, such as pulpitis, periodontitis, and gingival atrophy. Surveys show that most people in my country suffer from oral diseases to varying degrees, all of which are related to the damage to tooth enamel, which makes it easy for bacteria to invade.

2. Damage to tooth enamel can lead to exposure of dentinal tubules and cause dentin hypersensitivity, commonly known as tooth hypersensitivity. When exposed to external stimuli such as cold, heat, sour, sweet and mechanical action, the teeth will produce a strong sense of pain.

3. After the enamel is destroyed, the dentin lacks effective protection and is directly exposed, making it easy to be eroded by bacteria and form dental plaque. If the enamel is not repaired in time at this time, it will cause permanent damage to the teeth - tooth decay.

How to repair teeth

Sr-HAP anti-allergic repair material. Strontium (Sr) is an essential trace element for the human body. It has the function of enhancing bone strength. In oral health care applications, it can effectively desensitize and enhance tooth density. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) has excellent biocompatibility and can be used as an induction factor for bones or teeth. It has good remineralization, desensitization and whitening effects on teeth in toothpaste. After the strontium (Sr) element is introduced into hydroxyapatite (HAP), the performance is improved, making it have the dual activity of hydroxyapatite and strontium, with better biocompatibility and efficacy. The solubility and degradation properties of Sr-HAP are increased, making it easier to release calcium and phosphorus repair factors necessary for teeth, promoting the remineralization of the enamel surface, thereby repairing damaged enamel, increasing tooth density, and making teeth stronger.
