What is dentine?
a calcareous material harder and denser than bone that comprises the bulk of a tooth
What layer of the tooth is harder than bone?
Teeth are hard because of a crystal molecule they contain called hydroxyapatite. This molecule is part of teeth and bones and is what makes them resistant to bending or compressing. But teeth are harder than bones because the outer layer of enamel contains more hydroxyapatite than anything else in the body
Which is the hardest bone in your body?

Is bone the hardest structure in the body?
he femur is the thigh bone in the human body. In humans, it is the longest, hardest and strongest bone. The femur is said to be harder than concrete. The average human femur in adults is 48 centimeters (19 in) in length and 2.34 cm (0.92 in) in diameter and managed to support and withstand up to 30 times the weight of an adult. It forms part of the hip (at the acetabulum) and part of the knee. The word femur is Latin for thigh. It is impressive that evolution could make the femur bone almost harder than concrete. It has probably taken millions of years of evolution for the femur to evolve into the super strong bone that is today. The femur is a critical building block that the rest of our relatively soft body relies on.
Is The Calcaneus The Hardest Bone In The Body?
No, the hardest bone in the body is the femur (thigh bone) which is harder than concrete. :)
Which is the hardest substance present in the human body?
Hardest compont of the human body is the Enamel of the tooth (above gum line - gingivi) with approximately 95% calcium concentration The Dentin of the tooth (within enamel) has approximately 80% concentration of calcium
Is the forehead the strongest part of the skull?
I vote for tooth! Teeth are made of a special kind of bone called enamel, so as far as hardness, they are harder than all the other bones. As far as strength in supporting weight, the talus bone in the ankle is the most load bearing bone in the body. As far as overall strength, the femur, the biggest bone can be considered the strongest one in our bodies. The frontal bone that is in our foreheads does not have anywhere near the strength of the ones I've mentioned.
What is an tooth enamel?
Hi I'm a dental hygienist so I can answer this for you!! The Enamel on your teeth is the hardest substance in your whole entire body; yes it is even harder than bone!! So the closest thing in your body to enamel is bone but it is much harder and stronger!
The material that forms the bulk of the tooth is?
Teeth are mostly made of enamel, which is a type of bone that is harder, with a more dense extracellular matrix, than regular bone. The other important factor is that bone is alive, yet enamel is not because it does not have access to blood like bone does.
