Abstract:
In cosmetic dentistry, bleaching and laminate veneer methods are common treatments to improve the appearance of teeth. However, there are limitations to these treatments, as they damage the enamel which are not capable of recovering naturally. In this study, novel hydroxyapatite (HAp) sheets, which enable both enamel restoration and aesthetic treatments, were developed. Results indicated that the lower range of the sintering temperatures, of the pulsed laser deposition targets, produced lighter shades of amorphous Calcium phosphate (ACP) sheets. Subsequently, the post-annealing process of the sheets induced crystallization processes of the ACP sheets, to form HAp sheets, and improved the shade rank of the sheet. The shade rank of the developed sheet (6.8 ± 0.2) was almost comparable to the average shade rank of the teeth of Japanese people, within a range of 6.5 to 7.0.
