The application of synthetic hydroxyapatite in children and adolescents in various clinical cases.
The possibility of application of HA-BIOCER synthetic hydroxyapatite in the treatment of enamel hypoplasia in children and adolescents manifested by mineralisation disorders, enamel underdevelopment, enamel deficiency and oversensitivity to mechanical, thermal and chemical stimuli was evaluated. The possibility of applying the same preparation in case of enamel fractures and teeth injuries type I according to Ellis was also examined. It was found that the application of hydroxyapatite stimulates processes of remineralization in decalcified places. It also causes removal of tooth oversensitivity to thermal and mechanical stimuli by closing open dentinal tubules or decrease in their size. HA-BIOCER preparation brings about smoothing and lighting of hypoplastic foci, improves aesthetic appearance and is not toxic to patients.
