Hard dental tissues possess a complex hierarchical structure that is particularly evident in
enamel, the most mineralised substance in the human body. Its complex and interlinked …

Hydroxyapatite (HA)–polymer composite based 3D printed bone grafts require extensive
mechanical and biological property optimization for specific clinical needs. This fuels the …

Identification of human remains subjected to incineration is extremely challenging. Our study
evaluates the macroscopic changes and efficiency of DNA profiling in burnt teeth under …

Human dental tissue is a hydrated biological mineral composite. In terms of volume and
mass, a human tooth mainly consists of dentine and enamel. Human dental tissues have a …

Objectives To evaluate the effects of multiple firings and aging on surface roughness,
strength, and hardness of veneering ceramics for zirconia frameworks. Methods Five …

Dental caries is one of the most common chronic diseases that affect human teeth. It often
initiates in enamel, undermining its mechanical function and structural integrity. Little is …

Human dental tissues consist of inorganic constituents (mainly crystallites of hydroxyapatite,
HAp) and organic matrix. In addition, synthetic HAp powders are frequently used in medical …

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mineral content and morphology of
primary tooth enamel prepared using an Er: YAG laser at different power settings. Materials …

Heat alters colour and crystallinity of teeth by destruction of the organic content and inducing
hydroxyapatite crystal growth. The colour and crystallite changes can be quantified using …

To investigate and quantify the influence of the proteins in dental enamel on the mechanical
behavior different deproteinization treatments were carried out and their effect on the …
