Abstract
Potassium-substituted calcium phosphate free standing sheet for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity was prepared and evaluated. The appropriate annealing condition for the target of pulsed laser deposition to prepare the potassium-substituted amorphous calcium phosphate (PS-ACP) sheet was investigated. The target annealed at 1000 °C was used to deposit the PS-ACP sheet. The annealing condition for the potassium-substituted hydroxyapatite (PS-HAp) sheet was evaluated by XRD and EDX. The potassium release rate from PS-ACP sheet in PBS, evaluated by ICP-MS, was 2.5 times larger than that of PS-HAp sheet. The robustness of the PS-ACP sheet was proved by the brushing test of the PS-ACP sheet affixed on a bovine dentin. The dentin tubules on the dentin surface was occluded by the PS-ACP sheet and which confirmed by SEM observations.
