title: [Mineralization of dental hard tissues].
abstract: Tooth is a composite of the three different biological mineralized tissues (dentin, enamel, and cementum) that acquired supreme mechanical properties and function necessary for the mechanical digestion of the food throughout life. The underlining mechanisms of mineralization of each of these three components are unique and different from each other. Here the focus was placed on the mineralization process of dentin and enamel of the teeth of vertebrates.
