Tooth Enamel Mineral Matrix

Molecular classification
Mineral, Extracellular Matrix
01

Overview

The tooth enamel mineral matrix refers primarily to a highly organized composite dominated by carbonated hydroxyapatite crystals arranged into rods/prisms with minimal residual proteinaceous material after development. Its unique hierarchical structure results from a transient protein scaffold secreted during tooth development that orchestrates precise crystal alignment before being almost entirely replaced by minerals during maturation.
