Enamel Hydroxyapatite Crystals (HA)
- Target
- HA
- Molecular classification
- Mineral, Inorganic Material, Biomaterial
01
Overview
Enamel hydroxyapatite crystals are the primary inorganic component of dental enamel, comprising 92–97% of its weight. They are responsible for the hardness and durability of tooth enamel. While not a direct drug target, its integrity is crucial for dental health and is influenced by various substances like fluoride.

02
Mechanism of action
Fluoride promotes the formation of fluorapatite, a more acid-resistant mineral. Remineralizing agents deposit calcium and phosphate ions to repair enamel.
