Optimization and Evaluation of Fluoride-Functionalized Nano-Hydroxyapatite Derived From Labeo rohita Fish Scales for Remineralization of Early Enamel Caries: Protocol for an In Vitro Materials-to-Dentistry Study
Fish scales are a calcium-phosphate-rich by-product of food processing that can be converted to hydroxyapatite (HAp), offering a circular-bioeconomy pathway for the development of oral biomaterials. Although an established extraction and characterisation basis exists for HAp derived from Rohu (Labeo rohita) scales, d...
