Ciba Foundation Symposium 205 ‐ Dental Enamel: Dental Enamel: Ciba Foundation Symposium 205

The molecular mechanisms and protein species associated with the mineralization of mature dental enamel are active areas of research. This book focuses on specific areas of research including the structural chemistry, protein biochemistry and genetics of enamel development.
