Remineralizing Potential of Chicken Egg Shell Powder in Demineralized Dental Tissue

Abstract With the increasing emphasis on preventive and minimally invasive dentistry, there is a growing demand forsustainable and biocompatible materials that support enamel remineralization. Chicken eggshell powder (CESP), a naturalbyproduct rich in calcium and other bioactive compounds, has emerged as a promising eco-friendly alternative for dentalapplications. This review explores the potential of CESP in remineralizing demineralized dental substrates, examining itsphysicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and mechanism of action in restoring enamel integrity. Studies havedemonstrated that CESP can effectively promote mineral deposition, enhance surface hardness, and potentially reverseearly-stage carious lesions, making it a viable candidate in non-invasive treatment protocols. This article consolidatescurrent research on CESP’s dental applications, highlighting its benefits, limitations, and future prospects in clinicalpractice. The findings support further exploration of CESP as a cost-effective and environmentally responsible approach topreventive oral care. The aim of this review article is to critically evaluate the potential of chicken eggshell powder(CESP) as a sustainable, biocompatible, and effective agent for the remineralization of demineralized dental tissues.
