Abstract
Due to its excellent mechanical and tribological behavior, enamel is one of those unique natural substances that still cannot be substituted effectively for with artificial restorative materials. As shown in Fig. 5.1, enamel uniquely consists of aligned “prism-shaped” rods (4–8 μm in diameter), which run approximately perpendicular from the dentin-enamel junction (DEJ) toward the tooth surface [1].
