	Vitreous enamel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a discussion of art or technology, enamel (or vitreous enamel, or porcelain enamel in American English) is the colorful result of fusion of powdered glass to a substrate through the process of firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius.
		The durability of enamel has given it many functional applications, including: early 20th century advertising signs, interior walls of ovens, speckleware cooking pots, exterior walls of high quality kitchen appliances, cast iron bathtubs, storage silos on farms and process equipment such as chemical reactors and tanks for the chemical and pharmaceutical process industries.
		Color in enamel is obtained by the addition of various minerals, often metal oxides cobalt, praseodymium, iron, or neodymium.

	Enamel Developement
		The process by which enamel proteins such as amelogenin mediate the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals from calcium and phosphate is called enamel biomineralization.
		Enamel crystals are some of the most astounding structures in nature featuring extremely long and parallel organized hydroxyapatite crystals organized in bundles which are called prisms.
		Tooth enamel is a wonderful biomineral that evolves as the result of highly controlled interactions between specialized enamel proteins and tooth minerals.

	Glossary of Enamel Microstructures
		Enamel type (in prismless enamel): In prismless enamel, an enamel type is a large volume of enamel that consist of crystallites or modules of the same type and of similar orientation.
		Enamel unit: At the module level, the enamel unit is the smallest repeatable volume of enamel bounded by planar crystallite discontinuities.
		Enamel types may be arranged in layers from the EDJ to the OES but also may vary along the side and between the top and the bottom of an enamel cap.

		Enamel fluorosis is a hypomineralization of the enamel surface of the tooth that develops during tooth formation.
		The occurrence of enamel fluorosis is reported to be most strongly associated with fluoride intake during enamel development, with the severity of the condition depending on the dose, duration, and timing of fluoride intake.
		The risk for enamel fluorosis, even for posterior (back of mouth) teeth that do not show, ends when children reach age 8, because the pre-eruptive maturation of the tooth is complete and the enamel is no longer susceptible.

	The bonding of composite resin to moist enamel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It was established at a relatively early stage in the evolution of this technique that contamination of the dried etched enamel surface with water, saliva or GCF resulted in failure of resin penetration and dramatic reductions in bond strength.
		After etching the enamel surfaces were washed with water for 15 seconds and dried with oil-free air until the typical chalk-like appearance of etched enamel was observed.
		Whilst we did not measure the extent of enamel removed by the refinishing procedure for the enamel surfaces, the bond surface was re-prepared using abrasive paper to give a freshened smooth enamel surface for etching.

		The key to infer past temperatures using tooth enamel is in measuring small differences in the chemical composition of oxygen in dinosaur tooth enamel, in particular, differences in the ratio of heavy (oxygen-18) to light (oxygen-16) oxygen.
		This 'oxygen isotope ratio' of enamel is directly related to the isotopic ratio of rain and snow falling on a local area.
		Fortunately the oxygen isotope ratio of tooth enamel does not change over the millions of years that a dinosaur fossil is buried, so it is possible to use this ratio to infer surface temperature when the dinosaur was actually alive.
