| 11. | Enamel's primary mineral is hydroxyapatite, which is a crystalline calcium phosphate.
|
| 12. | These minerals, especially hydroxyapatite, will become soluble when exposed to acidic environments.
|
| 13. | The odontoblast process causes the secretion of hydroxyapatite crystals and mineralization of the matrix.
|
| 14. | He is most widely known for his development of the bioceramic hydroxyapatite orbital implant.
|
| 15. | Fluoride helps prevent decay of a tooth by binding to the hydroxyapatite crystals in enamel.
|
| 16. | The undermineralised, immature enamel containing long, thin prisms of hydroxyapatite, now matures.
|
| 17. | The most important mineral phases have been identified as hydroxyapatite, silica, and aragonite.
|
| 18. | This produces the stronger and more acid-resistant fluorapatite, rather than the natural hydroxyapatite.
|
| 19. | Hydroxyapatite, also known as hydroxylapatite, is the major component of tooth enamel and bone mineral.
|
| 20. | In contrast, low to medium porosity microporous layers displayed more stable configurations and induced hydroxyapatite growth.
