Role of mineralization inhibitors in the regulation of hard tissue biomineralization: relevance to initial enamel formation and maturation
Vertebrate mineralized tissues, i.e., enamel, dentin, cementum and bone, have unique hierarchical structures and chemical compositions. Although these tissues are similarly comprised of a crystalline calcium apatite mineral phase and a protein component, they differ with respect to crystal size and...
