Abstract
SPERBER, GH. Dental enamel. S. Afr. dent. j. [online]. 2020, vol.75, n.7, pp.384-386. ISSN 0375-1562. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2519-0105/2020/v75no7a6.
Dental enamel is the sparsest but most enduring component of all the tissues in the human body, yet co-ntrarily contains the most detailed historiography of its development. Accordingly, analysis of enamels' chemistry, histology and pathology can reveal detailed ambient information of both fossilized, long-deceased and its contemporary milieu occurring during amelogenesis. In this respect, dental enamel is the most versatile exponent of its developmental mechanisms and acquisition of its complex form. Dental enamel is the ultimate lexicographer of lives lived.
