The deposition of hydroxyapatite thin films has become a topic of interest in medical applications. This dental film applied on the surface of the tooth may act as a highly resistant and flexible artificial enamel, protecting teeth and removing tooth sensitivity. Other possibilities include whitening and coating enamel-deficient structures. We obtained this flexible film of hydroxyapatite using laser ablation. The plasma plumes were generated by an Nd Y"G nanosecond laser in a vacuum chamber. We used the pulsed laser deposition PLD technique and conducted investigations using optical emission spectroscopy OES , laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy LI"S , and Raman spectroscopy. Initially, a thin film of H" was deposited on a soluble substrate and heated, followed by immersion into pure water to dissolve the substrates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
