Three functions of nanoparticle Medical Hydroxyapatite mHAP were recognized by Japanese health authorities in approving this mineral supplement as an anticaries agent in 1993. These are:

mHAP (1)Helps remove plaque Adhesion to and removal of plaque NanomHAP has a strong propensity to bind with protein, and adheres to bacteria and plaque fragments during brushing, facilitating their removal on rinsing from the mouth.

(2)Restores surface smoothness Repair of microscopic surface fissures NanomHAP also acts as a filler, repairing minute pits and fissures in the enamel surface.This results in smoother, glossier enamel, less likely to harbor persistent plaque and stains.

(3)Replaces lost mineral Remineralization of subsurface demineralized areas (incipient caries) NanomHAP also provides mineral to areas of mineral loss below the enamel surface (so-called 'white spot' lesions and incipient caries), helping restore the enamel to its original mineral density and translucency, and protecting it from tooth decay.

Nanoparticle mHAP is non-abrasive, almost the same substance as the teeth, and not only helps remove plaque, but also provides essential mineral to repair surface and subsurface areas of microscopic damage, restoring tooth enamel to its near-original mineral density, smoothness and gloss, and protecting against decay to give us healthier, naturally translucent, more beautiful teeth.
