Compressed Mineral Nanoparticles in Dentin Prevent Crack Propagation in Teeth

An interdisciplinary team headed by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin scientists has examined the complicated structure of dentin in human teeth. Human teeth are designed to last a lifetime irrespective of the number of forces they are subjected to. However, the scientists have still not fully interpreted the high failure resistance of dentin. The scientists at the synchrotron sources BESSY II at HZB, Berlin, Germany, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility ESRF, Grenoble, France were able to report precompression of mineral particles. The resistance of the biostructure was increased as internal stress works against the advancement of cracks.
