what is our tooth enamel made up of
Answers
Answer:
Enamel, the hardest human tissue provides the outer protective covering for teeth. It is composed primarily of carbonate substituted hydroxyapatite crystallites. The process of enamel development is called amelogenesis and the cells that create enamel, the ameloblasts, are derived from oral ectoderm.

✍️ It is composed primarily of inorganic materials: roughly 95% to 98% of it is calcium and phosphate ions that make up strong hydroxyapatite crystals
✍️ It is composed primarily of carbonate substituted hydroxyapatite
✍️ It covers each and every tooth, and is made up of minerals, mostly hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite is known as bone mineral, but it is the carbonated calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite that makes up dental enamel and dentin.
✍️ Enamel is the most mineralised part of our body
