Tooth Enamel Hydroxyapatite Crystal

Molecular classification
Mineral, Calcium Phosphate, Biomaterial
01

Overview

Tooth enamel hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral component of dental enamel, forming tightly packed crystals that give enamel its exceptional hardness and durability. It is a crystalline calcium phosphate mineral with the chemical formula Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂. Its unique structure provides exceptional resistance against physical wear and acid dissolution while protecting underlying dentin/pulp tissues from environmental insults.
