Thermodynamic Solubility Product of Human Tooth Enamel: Powdered Sample

P. R. PATEL 1 and W. E. BROWN 1

1 Institute for Materials Research, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, DC 20234, USA

Solubility of human dental enamel in H3PO4 was studied in the pH range of 4.5 to 7.6. Thermodynamic solubility of the enamel mineral was calculated in terms of the ion activity product, (Ca2+)5(PO3-4) (OH-), for hydr-oxyapatite. The solubility product varied from 7.2 x 10-53 to 6.4 x 10-58 mol9 liter-9 depending on the cumulative amount of the dissolution of the solid in a series of repetitive sequences of solubility experiments.
