  2. Tooth enamel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_enamel

    The enamel on primary teeth has a more opaque crystalline form and thus appears whiter than on permanent teeth. The large amount of mineral in enamel accounts not only for its strength but also for its brittleness. [6] Tooth enamel ranks 5 on Mohs hardness scale (between steel and titanium) and has a Young's modulus of 83 GPa. [4]

  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.

  4. Tooth decay - Wikipedia

    The carious process can begin within days of a tooth's erupting into the mouth if the diet is sufficiently rich in suitable carbohydrates. Evidence suggests that the introduction of fluoride treatments has slowed the process. [34] Proximal caries take an average of four years to pass through enamel in permanent teeth.

    There are many types of dental anomalies seen in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. Both sets of dentition may be affected; however, they are commonly seen in the affected side. Most frequently, missing teeth, supernumerary or discoloured teeth can be seen; however, enamel dysplasia, discolouration and delayed root development are also common.

  6. Cementum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementum

    Some experts also agree on a third type of cementum, afibrillar cementum, which sometimes extends onto the enamel of the tooth. The excessive buildup of cementum on the roots of a tooth is a pathological condition known as hypercementosis. Cementum thickness can increase on the root end to compensate for attritional wear of the occlusal/incisal ...

  7. Dental restoration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_restoration

    A veneer is a very thin shell of porcelain that can replace or cover part of the enamel of the tooth. Full-porcelain restorations are particularly desirable because their color and translucency mimic natural tooth enamel. Another type is known as porcelain-fused-to-metal, which is used to provide strength to a crown or bridge. These ...
