  • Title: Synchronized crystal dissolution behavior for tooth enamel and synthetic (NBS) hydroxyapatite.
    Author: Fawzi MB, Sonobe T, Higuchi WI, Hefferren JJ.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1977 Apr; 56(4):394-406. PubMed ID: 265970.
    Abstract:
    The synchronized cyrstal dissolution hypothesis previously proposed to explain the unusual dissolution behavior of human dental enamel and hydroxyapatite in partially saturated acidic media has been critically examined with dissolution-dialysis transport experiments. The findings are in accord with the hypothesis. A model based upon a variable effective solubility for the hydroxyapatite crystal is proposed.
