title: Estimation of the specific surface area of apatites in human mineralized tissues using 31P MAS NMR.
abstract: Specific surface areas of apatites in whole human mineralized tissues were estimated from (31)P MAS NMR linewidths: 77 m(2)g(-1) for enamel and 94 m(2)g(-1) for dentin, dental cementum and cortical bone.
