Abstract:Introduction:The most mineralized and rigid tissue in the human body is tooth enamel. Enamel, the outermost covering of teeth, is made of hydroxyapatite, which is arranged in a well-organized prism structure to absorb loads. De-mineralization occurs when the most widely available and soluble material is removed from the enamel rods' periphery and it is exposed to acids, increasing the enamel's surface porosity, and allowing more acids to diffuse into the tissue and lose mineral ions. Objectives: To evaluate wh… Show more
