Dental mineralization

The developmental stage of teeth when calcium and other minerals are acquired in the enamel, dentin, and cementum of the teeth. The enamel is almost entirely mineralized, or calcified, making it the hardest substance in the human body. To lesser degrees, the dentin and cementum are also mineralized.


The accumulation of calcium crystals and various mineral salts during the formation of teeth.
