The susceptibility of teeth varies with age, fluoride exposure, morphology, crowding, nutritional status (including trace elements), and presence of acid (carbonic acid). The enamel of the tooth is the portion of the tooth where the caries process begins. Enamel is composed mainly of minerals in the form of hydroxyapatite. Primary tooth enamel is thinner than permanent tooth enamel. |
