And also, the cytotoxicity of materials used in the experiment was evaluated. Nano-HAp types were synthesized by the precipitation method. Forty dentin specimens were randomly divided into five groups of; 1no treatment (control), 2specimens treated with 10% pure nano-HAp and 3, 4, 5 specimens treated with 1%, 2%, and 3% F(-)doped 10% nano-HAp, respectively. To evaluate the effectiveness of the materials used; pH, FTIR, and scanning electron microscopy evaluations were performed before and after degredation in simulated body fluid. To determine cytotoxicity of the materials, MTT assay was performed. Statistical evaluations were performed with F and t tests. All of the nano-HAp materials used in this study built up an effective covering layer on the dentin surfaces even with plugs in tubules. It was found that this layer had also a resistance to degradation. None of the evaluated nano-HAp types were have toxicity. Fluoride doping showed a positive effect on physical and chemical stability until a critical value of 1% F-. The all evaluated nano-HAp types may be effectively used in dentin hypersensitivity treatment. The formed nano-HAp layers were seem to resistant to hydrolic deletion. The pure and 1% F(-)doped nano-HAp showed the highest biocompatibility thus it was assessed that pure and 1% F(-)doped materials may be used as an active ingredient in dentin hypersensitivity agents.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscytotoxicitydegredationdentine hypersensitivitydentine tubule occlusionfluoridehydroxyapatiteArticle10.1002/jemt.230462-s2.0-85046072305854829707852Q184381WOS:000448889100005Q3
