Abstract
The dental enamel apatite appeared to be an approximation to natural hydroxyapatite. There was no positive indication of amorphous inorganic or other inorganic compounds found in dental enamel apatite or natural hydroxyapatite by the analytical techniques used. Heats of reaction of the organic oxidation at 350 C were determined. Heats of reaction were inversely proportional to dental enamel density.
