Abstract Teeth wear for a number of reasons. One of the causes for wear is the use of abrasive tooth pastes. A study is reported in which enamel was damaged by single pass sliding of a diamond indenter. In single crystals of fluorapatite, wear occurs by flaking out of chips of material and severely fractured substrate is left behind.

Dental enamel, fluorosis and amoxicillin
Amoxicillin is one of the most used antibiotics among pediatric patients for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections and specially for acute otitis media (AOM), a common diseases of infants and childhood. It has been speculated that the use of amoxicillin during early childhood could be associated with dental enamel fluorosis, also ...

Dental Enamel Development: Proteinases and Their Enamel Matrix Substrates [PDF]
This review focuses on recent discoveries and delves in detail about what is known about each of the proteins (amelogenin, ameloblastin, and enamelin) and proteinases (matrix metalloproteinase-20 and kallikrein-related peptidase-4) that are secreted into the enamel matrix.

Unravelling the functional biomechanics of dental features and tooth wear [PDF]
Most of the morphological features recognized in hominin teeth, particularly the topography of the occlusal surface, are generally interpreted as an evolutionary functional adaptation for mechanical food processing.

Sintering of Dental Porcelain Enamels [PDF]
This study showed the effects of sintering temperature and atmospheric pressure on the density, tensile strength, and microstructure of porcelain enamels. Although the densities of the opaque porcelains were higher, they were weaker than the gingival porcelains.

The fracture behaviour of dental enamel [PDF]
Enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body covering the crowns of teeth. Whereas the underlying dental material dentin is very well characterized in terms of mechanical and fracture properties, available data for enamel are quite limited and are apart from the most recent investigation mainly based on indentation studies.

Three Dimensional Mapping of Texture in Dental Enamel [PDF]
We have used synchrotron x-ray diffraction to study the crystal orientation in human dental enamel as a function of position within intact tooth sections.

Enamel remineralization and repair results of Biomimetic Hydroxyapatite toothpaste on deciduous teeth: an effective option to fluoride toothpaste [PDF]
Background: Dental caries is a recognized worldwide public health problem. Despite being one of the most efective strategies against dental caries, the excessive use of fuorine may result in a potential risk of developing dental fuorosis especially in ...

A non-invasive investigation of Limoges enamels using both Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and spectral imaging: a pilot study [PDF]
This paper investigates the use of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Short-wave Infrared (SWIR) spectral imaging to study the deterioration of a Limoges enamel panel. Limoges enamels are formed of glass layers applied on a metal substrate and are prone to glass disease.
