Article Abstract
Objective: Oral care formulations aim to prevent oral diseases such as dental caries and gingivitis. Additionally, desire for white teeth still exists across all age groups. It is known that most whitening toothpastes are highly abrasive and can be harmful to teeth and gingiva. Therefore, a gel formulation with biomimetic hydroxyapatite (HAP; Ca[PO][OH]) as active ingredient was developed. This formulation was tested with respect to its tooth whitening properties in an study.
Materials And Methods: Enamel samples were allocated to either group (a) HAP gel, (b) whitening mouth rinse with phosphates, or (c) negative control (distilled water). Test products were applied by finger (a) or were rinsed (b, c) for 1, 3, and 9 (b and c only) cycles, respectively.
Results: Color changes (ΔE) were measured spectrophotometrically. Group (a) showed a significant increase in color changes with respect to whitening after one cycle (mean ΔE = 5.4 [±2.66], ≤ 0.006) and three cycles (mean ΔE = 11.2 [±3.11], < 0.0001) compared to groups (b) and (c). For group (b), a significant increase in color change was measured after three (mean ΔE = 2.77 [±1.01], = 0.02) and nine cycles (mean ΔE = 3.27 [±1.61], = 0.006) compared to (c). Group (c) showed only minor and statistically insignificant color changes.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated a significantly higher ad hoc whitening effect of the HAP gel compared to the mouth rinse and water after short-time application.

This paper presents a method for producing VTMS/HAp/VTMS/VTMS multilayer coatings on a Grade 2 titanium substrate and characterizes their structure and functional properties. Two solutions were used to produce the coatings: one based on vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) and the other on hydroxyapatite (HAp) powder. The coatings were applied using immersion using the sol-gel method.

This study assessed the hydrogen peroxide (HP) diffusion into the pulp chamber, bleaching efficacy (BE), surface roughness (Ra), and Knoop microhardness (KHN) of an experimental bleaching gel containing a hydroxyapatite-capsaicin composite (HAp-CAP). Human premolars were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 9) based on the dental bleaching gel used (50 min; one session): only 35% HP, 35% HP + HAp-CAP, and not exposed to bleaching (negative control; NC). HP diffusion (µg/mL) into the pulp chamber was assessed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and BE (ΔE, ΔE, and WI) was evaluated using a digital spectrophotometer.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the use of bioabsorbable materials, specifically polylactic acid (PLA) and hydroxyapatite (HAP), for maxillofacial reconstruction to avoid issues with traditional metallic implants.
- It involves creating and testing several PLA-based nanocomposites with properties that improve strength and bioactivity, using techniques like ball milling and sol-gel methods for nanoparticle preparation.
- Results show that the developed composites, PEAT and PHAT, exhibit favorable mechanical properties and cell viability, suggesting they are promising candidates for future use in maxillofacial implants.
Sequential extraction of hawthorn pectin: An attempt to reveal their original mode of being in plants and functional properties.

Hawthorn is rich in pectin, which is much higher than most cultivated fruits, but conventional extraction methods do not meet the requirements of low energy consumption and green production. Pectin in hawthorn is divided into soluble and insoluble parts, and with the ripening of hawthorn, the original pectin is converted into soluble pectin and pectic acid under the action of enzymes. Therefore, based on the characteristics of hawthorn pectin, this study sequentially extracted hawthorn pectin using water-soluble pectin (WSP) and hot acid-soluble pectin (HAP) method, verifying the feasibility of extracting hawthorn pectin with pure water at room temperature, and systematically analyzing and comparing the physicochemical properties and functional characteristics of the two methods.
