Abstract
The degree of crystallinity of the inorganic components in bovine enamel during maturation was calculated and was compared with the degree of calcification. The process of calcification was quantified using monochromatic X-ray microradiography, and the extent of crystallization was analyzed using an X-ray microdiffraction method. The results showed two notable phenomena: (1) that calcification continued for a short time after the eruption of the tooth, and (2) that the crystallization of the inorganic components was delayed in relation to the process of calcification before eruption, but caught up and progressed rapidly after eruption.
