Enamel Restorative Functions Clinical use of <mHAP>
1.After PMTC
<nHAP> fills surface fissures and restores smoothness to the enamel after scaling and use of polishing abrasives during professional mechanical tooth cleaning (PMTC)
2.After Debonding
<nHAP> remineralizes enamel roughened or demineralized during orthodontic procedures such as cementing or debonding (removal of orthodontic brackets), restoring smoothness and reducing white spots.
3.After Bleaching
<nHAP> replenishes mineral lost during bleaching, restoring enamel density and smoothness, and protecting against sensitivity and early recurrence of stains.
