    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_enamel

    The maintenance and repair of human tooth enamel is one of the primary concerns of dentistry. In humans, enamel varies in thickness over the surface of the tooth, often thickest at the cusp , up to 2.5 mm, and thinnest at its border with the cementum at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ).

  3. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

    Tooth remineralization is the natural repair process for non-cavitated tooth lesions, [1] [2] in which calcium, phosphate and sometimes fluoride ions are deposited into crystal voids in demineralised enamel. Remineralization can contribute towards restoring strength and function within tooth structure.

    Another consideration is unsupported tooth structure. When preparing the tooth to receive a restoration, unsupported enamel is removed to allow for a more predictable restoration. While enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, it is particularly brittle, and unsupported enamel fractures easily.

    Its mechanism wasn’t understood then, but we now know that fluoride repairs enamel and reverses tooth decay by boosting the restorative action of saliva. When the carbohydrates we eat and drink ...

  6. Tooth decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_decay

    Since demineralization of enamel by caries follows the direction of the enamel rods, the different triangular patterns between pit and fissure and smooth-surface caries develop in the enamel because the orientation of enamel rods are different in the two areas of the tooth. [76] As the enamel loses minerals, and dental caries progresses, the ...

  7. Fluoride therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_therapy

    Strictly speaking, fluoride therapy repairs rather than prevents damage to the teeth, causing the mineral fluorapatite to be incorporated into damaged tooth enamel. Fluorapatite is not a natural component of human teeth, although it is found in the teeth of sharks .
