Nano hydroxyapatite (Nano-HAp) is one of the nanoparticles that have attracted the attention of researchers due to its biological similarity with dental and bone materials. Recently, Nano-HAp has been used to nanodentistry to treat dental diseases and has been very effective. The origin of the preparation of these biological nanoparticles was firstly from cow bone. In this research, Nano-HAp was prepared from sheep molar teeth. Extraction of Nano-HAp from teeth is a new and innovative idea. In this way, the HAp powder in sheep molar teeth was separated from the rest of the dental material, which includes fatty material and dental connective tissue, and then using ultrasonic waves, the HAp material was converted into Nano-HAp. The Nano-HAp powder was studied with the help of ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy to prove its existence. The morphology and size of Nano-HAp were examined by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and its chemical component was confirmed with Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).
