Abstract: In this paper a paste was developed to grow highly crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on the enamel surface. HA particles, which were the major component in the pastes, were synthetized through microwave accelerated synthesis method and ageing method, respectively. The characterization of the coating was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and microhardness tester. The effect of synthesis methods of HA particles on the structure and properties of the coating was discussed. Experimental results indicated that the paste with HA particles synthetized through the ageing method showed higher reactivity, and was superior to that with HA particles synthetized through microwave accelerated synthesis method in respect of hardness and crystallization of the coatings. The newly formed coatings can be self-assembled into an enamel-like microstructure, and the average hardness reached 171.4 VHN. This study suggests the potential of HA-containing pastes in clinical applications.
