Abstract
Microminerals including fluorine, iodine, iron, aluminum, selenium, manganese, copper, zinc, strontium, lead, and cobalt were determined in the enamel and dentin portions of permanent, sound teeth from 175 patients in Virginia. Neutron activation and atomic absorption were used in the analyses. Concentration of the elements was related to tooth portion, age, and sex of the patient.
