The minerals found in human teeth and bones that give them their hardness and strength belong to a mineral family known as biological apatites.The apatites found in tooth enamel, dentin and bone have slightly different compositions and therefore have different physical and mechanical properties.The biological apatites are forms of calcium hydroxyapatite, which has the formula Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2.
