Title OH- deficiency in dental enamel, crown and root dentine as studied by 1H CRAMPS
Date 07.11.2013
Number 39203
Abstract High-resolution solid-state NMR based on combined rotation and multipulse spectroscopy (CRAMPS) has been applied to study chemical structures of dental tissues. The samples of human enamel, crown dentine and root dentin studied in this work were used without chemical pre-treatment. The quantitative 1H NMR spectra permit an assignment to different structures and a quantification of the content of hydroxyl groups. While there is 40% hydroxyl content in the enamel, there is significantly less in the dentin, 14% in the crown and 9% in the root. Thus this study provides the direct evidence of OH- ion deficiency in all dental tissues supporting earlier findings that bone and dental mineral apatite is poorly hydroxylated.
