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] Dentin, less ...

3. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

   P11-4 is a self-assembling β-peptide. It builds a 3-D bio-matrix with binding sites for Calcium-ions serving as nucleation point for hydroxyapatite (tooth mineral) formation. The high affinity to tooth mineral is based on matching distances of Ca-ion binding sites on P11-4 and Ca spacing in the crystal lattice of hydroxyapatite.

4. Mineralized tissues - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineralized_tissues

   Mineralized tissues are biological tissues that incorporate minerals into soft matrices. Typically these tissues form a protective shield or structural support. [1] Bone, mollusc shells, deep sea sponge Euplectella species, radiolarians, diatoms, antler bone, tendon, cartilage, tooth enamel and dentin are some examples of mineralized tissues ...

5. Hard tissue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_tissue

   Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body and contains the highest percentage of minerals, [3] 96%, with water and organic material composing the rest. [4] The primary mineral is hydroxyapatite, which is a crystalline calcium phosphate. [5] Enamel is formed on the tooth while the tooth is developing within the gum, before it erupts into ...

6. Apatite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apatite

   Apatite is one of a few minerals produced and used by biological micro-environmental systems. [7] Hydroxyapatite, also known as hydroxylapatite, is the major component of tooth enamel and bone mineral.

   The naturally occurring mineral strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent decay. But Ladapo has pointed to concerns over fluoride causing "adverse effects in children reducing IQ, cognitive ...

8. Human tooth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth

   Enamel's primary mineral is hydroxyapatite, which is a crystalline calcium phosphate. [12] The large amount of minerals in enamel accounts not only for its strength but also for its brittleness. [10] Dentin, which is less mineralized and less brittle, compensates for enamel and is necessary as a support. [12]
