Nanocomposites containing amorphous calcium
phosphate nanoparticles were developed for the first
time. The nanocomposite was ‘‘smarter’’ as it greatly
increased the ion release at a cariogenic pH 4, when these
ions would be extremely needed to inhibit caries. The new
nanocomposites containing amorphous calcium phosphate
nanoparticles may be promising for stress-bearing and
caries-inhibiting restorations
