Phosphate-treated siwak as a calcium phosphate–bearing bioactive material for fluoride-free oral care: physicochemical characterization and in vitro enamel microhardness recovery
Nature ·
The Brief
- The study describes phosphate-treated siwak as a calcium phosphate-bearing bioactive material for oral care.
- It reports physicochemical characterization of the material.
- It reports in vitro enamel microhardness recovery and is positioned as a fluoride-free option.
Why it matters
It offers a possible fluoride-free approach to enamel remineralization based on a natural material, though the evidence shown so far is in vitro.
