Hierarchically mimicking outer tooth enamel for restorative mechanical compatibility [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTooth enamel, and especially the outer tooth enamel, is a load-resistant shell that benefits mastication but is easily damaged, driving the need for enamel-restorative materials with comparable properties to restore the mastication function and protect ...

Multiscale engineered artificial tooth enamel [PDF]
Science, 2022 Tooth enamel, renowned for its high stiffness, hardness, and viscoelasticity, is an ideal model for designing biomimetic materials, but accurate replication of complex hierarchical organization of high-performance biomaterials in scalable abiological composites is challenging.

Amelogenin phosphorylation regulates tooth enamel formation by stabilizing a transient amorphous mineral precursor [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020 Dental enamel comprises interwoven arrays of extremely long and narrow crystals of carbonated hydroxyapatite called enamel rods. Amelogenin (AMELX) is the predominant extracellular enamel matrix protein and plays an essential role in enamel formation ...

Beyond natural tooth enamel [PDF]
The Innovation, 2022 With the rapid development of aerospace, national defense technology, and biological hard-tissue repair, engineers and scientists always aim at the design and manufacture of composites with higher stiffness, viscoelasticity, strength, and toughness, but unfortunately, these properties—stiffness/viscoelasticity and strength/toughness—are generally ...

In-vitro Thermal Maps to Characterize Human Dental Enamel and Dentin [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 The crown of a human tooth has an outer layer of highly-mineralized tissue called enamel, beneath which is dentin, a less-mineralized tissue which forms the bulk of the tooth-crown and root.

Restoration of human tooth enamel
BMEMatHuman tooth enamel, consisting of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals (∼85–88 vol%), proteins (∼2‐3 vol%), and requisite water (∼10–12 vol%), is 1–3 mm thick at the outer layer of the tooth.
