Tooth enamel has the critical role of enabling the mastication of food and also of protecting
the underlying vital dentin and pulp structure. Unlike most vital tissue, enamel has no ability …

A review is presented of the mechanical damage suffered by tooth crowns. This has been
the subject of much recent research, resulting in a need to revise some of the thinking about …

Tooth enamel has an important mechanical function for human dental health, yet
characterizing its mechanical properties is not trivial due to its complex nanoporous …

With only 1% protein by weight, tooth enamel is the most highly mineralized tissue in
mammals. The focus of this study was to evaluate contributions of the proteins on the …

Enamel mechanical properties vary across molar crowns, but the relationship among
mechanical properties, tooth function, and phylogeny are not well understood. Fifteen …

Objective To investigate the wear mechanisms of a polymer infiltrated ceramic network
(PICN) material, to compare its wear behavior with that of tooth enamel, and to provide …

Objective: To analyze macroscopic, microscopic, and ultrastructural aspects of enamel from
head-and-neck cancer patients submitted to radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Twenty …

Information on mechanical properties of human enamel and dentin and effect of load on
their deformation and damage tolerance is very important in the development of successful …

In this work, the compressive elastic modulus and failure strength values of bovine enamel
at the first hierarchical level formed by hydroxyapatite (HA) nanofibers and organic matter …

Dental enamels of different species exhibit a wide variety of microstructural patterns that are
attractive to mimic in bioinspired composites to simultaneously achieve high stiffness and …
