Ameloblasts – Makers of the Tooth Enamel
This article is about the tooth enamel and how the bones are hard strong and tough.The tooth bones are not the hardest bones in your body.The enamel of the tooth is the hardest and the most mineralized part of our body.It even contains about four percent of water and cementing materials.The thin layer of the enamel protects the crownof each tooth and it is against the forces of chewing and grinding.The teeth enamel takes place in a group of cells called the enamel organ.
My opinion of this article is that it is explaining in details about the tooth.The enamel is one of the longest bones.But i didnt even know this much about the enamel.When i first read the article it was telling me alot of information.But i would tell people about this because they might need to know about there teeth and how to take care of them.So when they go to the dentist they will know what they are talking about.
