在天然牙釉质中，氟化物总是存在于碳化羟基磷灰石矿物中，在预防蛀牙方面起着关键作用。在这项研究中，我们旨在通过使用氟磷灰石纳米棒或纳米线开发新的、有效的抗菌材料来模仿牙齿的天然抗菌能力。因此，我们研究了合成不同尺寸、形状和成分的氟磷灰石纳米棒的必要条件，以供将来直接或间接使用，即加入牙科材料或用于治疗和预防龋齿。通过控制化学条件，制备出具有理想化学成分和尺寸的纳米棒。并提出了这些结构形成的机理。
In natural tooth enamel, fluoride is always present in the carbonated hydroxyapatite mineral and plays a key role in the prevention of tooth decay. In this study we aimed at mimicking the natural anticaries ability of the tooth by developing new, effective anticaries materials using fluorapatite nanorods or nanowires. We therefore investigated the conditions necessary to synthesize fluorapatite nanorods of different size, shape, and composition for future use either directly or indirectly, that is by incorporation into dental materials or in the treatment and prevention of caries. By controlling the chemical conditions, nanorods of desirable chemical composition and dimension were produced. The mechanism of how these structures were formed is also proposed.
