Estimation of the specific surface area of apatites in human mineralized tissues using 31P MAS NMR.
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.
