Hydroxyapatite's adhesion to enamel and dentin tubule occlusion depends greatly on its particle size, with nanoparticles and small microparticles being much more effective than conventional micron-sized particles. nanoXIM micro-HAp (1.1 µm) When it comes to dentin tubule occlusion, conventional micro-HAp is too large to be effective at sealing dentin tubules. On the other hand, nanoXIM nano-HAp, which is 50x smaller than the average diameter of dentin tubules, and nanoXIM micro-HAp (1.1 μm), which is also smaller than dentin tubules, are both able to effectively occlude the dentin tubules, strongly reducing dental hypersensitivity. Fabritius-Vilpoux et al. (2019) found that effective adhesion to enamel only occurs with particles up to 1.3 μm in diameter. Because conventional micro-HAp size is excessively large, above 5 μm, it results in poor or nonexistent adhesion to the enamel. On the other hand, nanoXIM nano-HAp size is 25x smaller than the upper limit of 1.3 μm determined by Fabritius-Vilpoux et al., and nanoXIM micro-HAp size is about 1.1 μm, which is also below the 1.3 μm mentioned. As a result, both nanoXIM nano-HAp and micro-HAp are capable of adhering effectively to the enamel surface, remineralizing it and protecting the tooth surface, thereby preventing the appearance of new cavities.

The nanoXIM•CarePaste manufactured by FLUIDINOVA is now the only nano-hydroxyapatite in the world scrutinized and approved as safe for oral care cosmetics by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) European authorities. The SCCS adopted and published on 23 rd of March 2023 the Final Opinion SCCS/1648/22 on hydroxyapatite (nano) safety regarding its use in oral care products. Based on the data provided for nanoXIM•CarePaste over the past decade by FLUIDINOVA, the SCCS considers hydroxyapatite (nano) safe when used at concentrations up to 10% in toothpaste, and up to 0.465% in mouthwash. This safety evaluation only applies to the hydroxyapatite (nano) with the characteristics of nanoXIM•CarePaste, namely: • Composed of rod-shaped particles of which at least 95.8% (in particle number) have an aspect ratio less than 3, and the remaining 4.2% have an aspect ratio not exceeding 4.9; • The particles are not coated or surface modified. This Opinion is not applicable to hydroxyapatite (nano) composed of needle-shaped particles. The incorporation of 10% nano-HAp for toothpastes corresponds to 64.5% nanoXIM•CarePaste, while 0.465% nano-HAp for mouthwashes corresponds to 3% nanoXIM.CarePaste, given that nanoXIM.CarePaste contains 15.5% nano-HAp in its composition. This Final Opinion SCCS/1648/22 and safe use conclusions apply only to nanoXIM•CarePaste product referred to in the studies and manufactured by FLUIDINOVA. nanoXIM•CarePaste product is compliant with the restrictions outlined in reference number 372 of Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding the use of the hydroxyapatite nanomaterial in cosmetics products.
