Enamel mineral • The mineral of enamel is a salt formed from calcium phosphates. • Basic calcium phosphate in enamel is hydroxyapatite.
Enamel mineral • Apatite - a mineral with chemical formula Са10(РО4)6 (F, OH)2 • FHA- Ca10(PO4)6(F,OH)2 • FA Ca10(PO4)6 F2
Enamel mineral Other calcium phosphates: Brushite -СаНРО4.2Н 2О, ß-tricalcium phosphate- Са 3(РО 4) 2 Octacalcium phosphate- Са 8(РО 4) 4(НРО 4) 2.5Н 2О.
Dissociation equilibrium of hydroxyapatite НА in liquid medium undergoes electrolytic dissociation HA dissociates to : 10 calcium ions 6 trivalent phosphate ions 2 hydroxide ions Са 10(РО 4) 6 (ОН)2 ←→ 10Са 2+ + 6РО43- + 2ОН -
Calcium and phosphate ions from the enamel get into plaque : - serve for buffering of the medium; • - if the environment is alkaline the iones can reenter in enamel; - part of the ions get into the saliva,
Processes of de-and remineralization of enamel in the oral environment • Between enamel and saliva is situated the plaque biofilm Ions entering the food diffuse plaque and saturate it; Within each eating into the plate enter acid, and other acids are formed from microbial metabolism.
Dissociation equilibrium of plaque acids • The acid is salt, and also in the liquid medium as well as the crystal starts to dissociate. hydrogen ions + acid anions The active part of an acid is the hydrogen ion, and its strength is dependent on the quantity thereof.
When in the solution around HA acid is dissociate , begins the active effect of hydrogen ions; The hydrogen ions pass into the enamel and move in competitive reaction with calcium.
The hydrogen ions move into contact with the hydroxyapatite and combined with the phosphate and hydroxide ions of the crystal– form a monohydrogen phosphate ion(НРО42+) and (Н2О). They quickly leave the crystal and move in solutionТе Са 10(РО 4) 6(ОН) 2 ←→ Са 2+ + 6РО 43- + ОН - ↓ Н+ НРО42+Н20 ↓ Н+ monohydrogen phosphate Н2РО 4- dihydrogen phosphate ion
Processes of de-and remineralization of enamel in the oral environment Enamel constantly washind from saliva. The concentration of Ca2 + and PO4 ions in the saliva varies - under normal conditions - 1,5 mmol / l. At neutral pH in the mouth the amount of Ca2 + and PO4 ions is sufficient to saturate the medium. These conditions provide balance in the process of de-and remineralization and no significant ion motion.
Processes of de-and remineralization of enamel in the oral environment By acidification of the medium saturation with inherent apatite ions decreased sharply Starts quickly extracting of ions from enamel for her saturation. Critical pH = 5,5 - direction of movement of the ions only in the direction from the enamel to the solution performed only under demineralization Performed only process of demineralization
