Unusual dissolution behavior of tooth enamel and synthetic HAP crystals under high partial saturation conditions

M. B. Fawzi, W. I. Higuchi and J. J. Hefferren

The dissolution behavior of enamel and synthetic hydroxyapatite in acidic media possessing a high degree of partial saturation was found to be neither simple surface dissolution nor linear with time. Instead, a repetitive, stepwise dissolution pattern was observed. To explain this phenomenon, a model based upon a hypothesis that the crystals dissolve in a synchronized fashion was proposed.
