properties of the enamel matrix, along with in vitro evidence provided by advanced
technologies, have been improving our understanding of tooth enamel formation.
Further in vitro studies should enable us to better explain the mechanisms and fine-
tune the formation scenario and new findings, like the coexistence of phosphates and
carbonates in the crayfish mandibles, might require reconstruction of a phylogenic
perspective of biominerals.
