What else can I help you with?
What material is similar to that of a tooth?
Eggshells are a good substitute for teeth, because there both made up of similar stones like material that is made up of calcium. Eggshells are calcium carbonate, and teeth enamel is calcium phosphate. Which make both them composites, because they are both not pure calcium.
What is tooth enamels purpose?
Tooth enamels protects your nerves in your teeth. Without it your teeth would be week.
What is Ca3(PO4)2?
Ca3(PO4)2 is the chemical formula for calcium phosphate, a white, powdery mineral that is a major component of tooth enamel and bone. It is commonly used as a nutritional supplement to provide calcium and phosphorus to the body.
What element occurs in teeth and bones as calcium phosphate?
Calcium phosphate is the mineral compound that occurs in teeth and bones, providing strength and structure. It helps form hydroxyapatite crystals, which are a major component of bone tissue and tooth enamel.
How do you use eggshell to test effects of liquids on teeth?
Eggshells like teeth have a lot of calcium in them. If some substance erodes away an eggsheel, then it can have a bad effect on tooth enamel as well.
What inorganic salt is found abundant in saliva?
phosphate and chloride... phosphate maintain pH level while chloride is the coenzyme of ptyalin
Name one metal element in tooth enamel?
Calcium is a metal element present in tooth enamel.
How are egg shells and the enamel of your teeth the same?
Both teeth and eggshells are made of stone-like minerals containing mostly calcium. Bird eggshells are made of calcium carbonate, whil dental enamel is formed from calcium phosphate. Both of these materials are classified as COMPOSITES because they are actually not pure calcium carbonate or phosphate, but also contain additional components that are softer, and allow the mineral-like crystals to bond together into a rigid structure. The precise way the composite is organized, at the microscopic level, determines whether the material is hard and resiliant (like enamel) which is resistant to cracking, or hard and brittle like eggshell that cracks much more easily. To read more about how nature uses different materials, see if you can obtain a copy of the book--- _Life's Devices_, by Steven Vogel, 1988, Princeton University press--- from a local library. Or ask one of the librarians to help you find more information on the subject if the book isn't readily available.
What are the common ions present in toothpaste?
Common ions present in toothpaste include fluoride (F-), calcium (Ca2+), phosphate (PO43-), and sodium (Na+). These ions help to strengthen tooth enamel, reduce plaque formation, and fight against tooth decay.
How does tooth enamel undergo damage due to eating chocolates and sweets?
Tooth enamel is made up of calcium phosphate which gets corroded when the pH in the mouth is below 5.5. Bacteria present in the mouth produce acids by degradation of sugar and food particles in the mouth after eating. To prevent this,Tooth pastes are used,which are bases, neutralise the acid.
What is Hydroxyapetite?
Hydroxyapatite is a mineral form of calcium apatite that is the main component of human teeth and bones. It provides strength and structure to these tissues due to its high calcium and phosphate content. Hydroxyapatite is commonly used in biomedical applications such as bone grafts and dental implants.
What minerals are found in toothpaste?
Two of the minerals found in toothpaste are sodium clouride,and sodium sulfate
