Electron Probe Microanalysis of Human Enamel Microstructure

A. WIRSING 1, G. JUDD 1, and G. S. ANSELL 1

1 Materials Division, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York 12181, USA

An electron probe microanalyzer was used to determine compositional variations of the Ca/P ratio in the core and sheath areas of individual rods in human enamel. The Ca/P ratio in the core is that of a calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite, whereas the ratio in the sheath is that of almost stoichiometric apatite. Treatment with HCl or EDTA alters the Ca/P ratio in the core and the sheath.
