The novelty of this study is the production of hydroxyapatite from biowaste-derived bovine bone and bovine teeth powders, and its use as remineralizing agents for demineralized enamel for the first time.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n Eighty-four human premolar enamel specimens were allocated into seven groups (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200912). The physical and chemical properties were done for calcined biowaste materials. Experimental groups were treated with slurries prepared from FiB, BoB, and BoT, while control groups included TM, demineralized enamel, non-protected enamel, and sound enamel. Remineralization was assessed using SEM, EDX, and AFM.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Characterization confirmed the hydroxyapatite-like structures formation with Ca\/P ratios varying from 1.55 to 1.64, mesoporous architecture (10\u201320\u2005nm), and variable crystallinity. The experimental groups had higher calcium content and Ca\/P ratio comparing to the negative control group (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.05), was very close to that in TM group and sound enamel. The SEM showed in treated enamel surfaces were smoother with clear crystal deposits, especially in the BoT group. Treated enamel surface in the BoT group showed less porosity and a more uniform surface. AFM analysis showed that surface roughness in the BoT and TM groups was significantly reduced (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.05), such as Sq value in TM group decreased from 33.6\u2005nm to 10.2\u2005nm.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n The calcined biowaste-derived HAp materials showed an improvement in the remineralization of enamel, and the bovine tooth-derived HAp had the best overall performance.<\/jats:p>\n
