Question

What is tooth enamel chemically

Answer 1

Tooth Enamel consists of a parallel array of rods composed of hydroxyapatite crystals. It is the hardest substance made by the body, much harder than bone. Enamel is formed by specialized cells called ameloblasts. The ameloblasts lay down the surface enamel first and then in succeeding layers in an inward direction. Underlying the enamel is the supporting dentin layer, a softer layer that has pores that go to the inner pulp. Each pore is microscopic in diameter. The inner pulp is composed of nerve cells, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
