Abstract

Introduction: Dental enamel is a principal component of the tooth. It has evolved to bear large chewing forces and it can withstand over decades. Functional loss of enamel caused by tooth decay affects the quality of life. Enamel caries are characterized by the demineralization of inorganic and the destruction of organic substances.
Materials and methods: FESEM was used to visualize the tooth sections on the glass coverslip. Sections will be dehydrated and nitrogen gas was applied for drying. Further, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was used for elemental analyses and chemical characterization.
Results: In enamel calcium and phosphate were more but the other ions were also present and it got increased more than calcium and phosphate in areas where demineralization happened. Enamel restoration is more challenging than any other part of the tooth.
Conclusion: Demineralisation means loss of calcium and phosphate and increase in organic content like carbon and oxygen when this happens the hardness of the tissue will decrease.
