The elastic properties of dentin, a biological composite consisting of stiff hydroxyapatite (HAP) nano-platelets within a compliant collagen matrix, are determined by the volume fraction of these two phases and the load transfer between them. We have measured the elastic strains in situ within the HAP phase of bovine dentine by high energy X-ray diffraction for a series of static compressive stresses at ambient temperature. The apparent HAP elastic modulus (ratio of applied stress to elastic HAP strain) was found to be 18+/-2GPa. This value is significantly lower than the value of 44GPa predicted by the lower bound load transfer Voigt model, using HAP and collagen volume fractions determined by thermo-gravimetric analysis. This discrepancy is explained by (i) a reduction in the intrinsic Young's modulus of the nano-size HAP platelets due to the high fraction of interfacial volume and (ii) an increase in local stresses due to stress concentration around the dentin tubules.

D003804 Dentin The hard portion of the tooth surrounding the pulp, covered by enamel on the crown and cementum on the root, which is harder and denser than bone but softer than enamel, and is thus readily abraded when left unprotected. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992) Dentine,Dentines,Dentins
D006244 Hardness The mechanical property of material that determines its resistance to force. HARDNESS TESTS measure this property. Hardnesses
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014070 Tooth One of a set of bone-like structures in the mouth used for biting and chewing. Teeth
D014961 X-Ray Diffraction The scattering of x-rays by matter, especially crystals, with accompanying variation in intensity due to interference effects. Analysis of the crystal structure of materials is performed by passing x-rays through them and registering the diffraction image of the rays (CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, X-RAY).
