Calcium hydroxyapatite nanoparticles as a reinforcement filler in dental resin nanocomposite.

ABSTRACT: The current study focuses on the fabrication of calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂) (HA) in a nanorange having whiskers- and cubic-shaped uniform particle morphology. The synthesized HA particles hold a promising feature as reinforcement fillers in dental acrylic resin composite. They increase the efficacy of reinforcement by length and aspect ratio, uniformity, and monodispersity. Therefore, the acrylic resin was reinforced with the as-synthesized monodispersed HA filler particles (0.2-1 Wt%). The presence of filler particles in the composite had a noticeable effect on the tribological and mechanical properties of the dental material. The morphological effect of HA particles on these properties was also investigated, revealing that cubic-sh
