Table 3 Results of proportional screening for dispersion stability of nHA and CMC.

From: In vitro study on the bacteriostatic effect of Amoxicillin-loaded Nano-hydroxyapatite and its capability in occluding dentinal tubules

nHA/CMC ratio

Dispersion

1:0.5

Through stirring, it was found that nHA still precipitated, nHA could not be completely dispersed, and the maximum usage rate could not be reached.

1:1

nHA could be completely dispersed, and precipitation gradually appeared at the same time. The complete precipitation time was about 24 h.

1:2

nHA could also be completely dispersed. Dispersed, but nHA hardly precipitates.
