The aim of this work was to produce a nanoscale fluoridated and potassium containing hydroxyapatite via sol-gel method and to observe the effect of occlusion of the dentin tubule under scanning electron microscopy. HF was selected as fluorine-containing reagent which was added into mixed Ca ( NO3 )2-P2 O5 ethanol solutions to obtain dipping sols. All of the resulting samples showed apatite structure in their X- ray diffraction pattern. The lattice parameter a and the crystallite size were calculated to demonstrate the crystalline structure of fluoridated and potassium containing HA. Extracted paired premolars were chosen to obtain a flat surface with opened tubules. It was observed that the tubules were covered by α 10μm layer of fluoridated and potassium containing HA under the SEM. As the experimental results show the nanoscale fluoridated and potassium containing hydroxyapatite occludes the dentin tubules.
