The schematic view of the tooth enamel The dotted line represents the concentration of static hydroxyapatite Ca5(PO4)3, the dashed one – the concentration of organic acid HB.
Lesion depth versus time The squares represent experimental data (J. Featherstone et al., Arch. Oral Biol. 24, 101 (1979) ), solid line is the plot of the power function xf = 0.39 t 0.32 . Since xf = Df t /2 , we obtain = 0.64.

THE EXPERIMENTAL SETUP Impedance is measured using Solartron Frequency Response Analyzer 1360 and Biological Interface Unit 1293 in the frequency range 0.1 Hz to 100 kHz. Amplitude of signal was selected for 1000 mV.
EXPERIMENTAL RESULT = 0.30 ± 0.06
Final remarks • We have developed a method to extract the subdiffusion parameters from experimental data. The method uses the membrane system, where the transported substance diffuses from one vessel to another, and it relies on a fully analytic solution of the fractional subdiffusion equation. We have applied the method to the experimental data on glucose and sucrose subdiffusion in a gel solvent. • We show that the reaction front evolves in time as xf~Dft /2 with 1. The relation can be used to identify the subdiffusion and to evaluate the subdiffusion parameter in a porous medium such as a tooth enamel.
Final remarks • Our first method to determine the subdiffusion parameters relies on the time evolution of near-membrane layer =At/2. Why the parameters are not extracted directly from concentration proflies? There are some reasons to choice the near-membrane layers: • The near-membrane layer is free of the dependence on the boundary condition at the membrane • When the concentration profile is fitted by a solution of subdiffusion equation, there are three free parameters. When the temporal evolution of is discussed, is controlled by time dependence of (t) while D is provided by the coefficient A.
