“…Other elements were also analysed and Zn-doped dentine was investigated with K-edge, to study Zn effect on the acid resistance [ 31 ]. In studies on the treatment of caries, XAS Ca K-edge and Zn K-edge were also used to analyse glass ionomer cement synthesis for restoration purposes [ 681 ], as well as XAFS of Sr K-edge on enamel and dentine powder exposed to surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer [ 383 ]. As strontium is thought to improve the remineralisation and acid resistance of enamel, the Sr distribution was analysed and compared with a radial distribution function (including details for Sr-P and Sr-Ca).…”

Hard dental tissues possess a complex hierarchical structure that is particularly evident in enamel, the most mineralised substance in the human body. Its complex and interlinked organisation at the Ångstrom (crystal lattice), nano-, micro-, and macro-scales is the result of evolutionary optimisation for mechanical and functional performance: hardness and stiffness, fracture toughness, thermal, and chemical resistance. Understanding the physical–chemical–structural relationships at each scale requires the application of appropriately sensitive and resolving probes. Synchrotron X-ray techniques offer the possibility to progress significantly beyond the capabilities of conventional laboratory instruments, i.e., X-ray diffractometers, and electron and atomic force microscopes. The last few decades have witnessed the accumulation of results obtained from X-ray scattering (diffraction), spectroscopy (including polarisation analysis), and imaging (including ptychography and tomography). The current article presents a multi-disciplinary review of nearly 40 years of discoveries and advancements, primarily pertaining to the study of enamel and its demineralisation (caries), but also linked to the investigations of other mineralised tissues such as dentine, bone, etc. The modelling approaches informed by these observations are also overviewed. The strategic aim of the present review was to identify and evaluate prospective avenues for analysing dental tissues and developing treatments and prophylaxis for improved dental health.
