Hydroxyapatite crystal lattice stabilization: ColgateRecent Research Landscape

Enamel demineralization and tooth sensitivity create consumer dissatisfaction and product instability. Precise control of hydroxyapatite concentration and particle integration restores mineral density to mitigate these structural defects.

What technical problems is Colgate addressing in Hydroxyapatite crystal lattice stabilization?

Enamel acid erosion

(7)evidences

Acidic environments in the oral cavity cause the dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystals in tooth enamel. Preventing this mineral loss maintains structural integrity and prevents hypersensitivity.

Dentin hypersensitivity and enamel erosion

(5)evidences

Acid-induced demineralization and structural degradation of tooth enamel. Preventing mineral depletion maintains structural integrity and prevents dental decay.
