Dental Enamel Hydroxyapatite (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Mineral, Calcium Phosphate Compound
01
Overview
Dental enamel hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral component of tooth enamel, making up approximately 96% of its composition by weight. It is a crystalline calcium phosphate compound with the chemical formula Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂. This mineral forms highly organized crystals that aggregate into dense structures known as enamel rods or prisms, which extend from the dentin-enamel junction to the outer surface of each tooth. It provides hardness and protection to the teeth, and is involved in the dynamic process of demineralization and remineralization.
