As the bacteria in the biofilm metabolize any substrate introduced into the mouth, the pH drops within the biofilm, and at the critical pH of solubility, the enamel begins to dissolve. Mineral is lost in the form of hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite.After rapid surface demineralization, the dissolution rate decreases, resulting in hollow enamel cores and nanoparticle remaining as crystals, which are resistant to further dissolution.namel forms when single hydroxyapatite crystals assemble within the amelogenin protein matrix and form hydroxyapatite nanocrystals. The body maintains the tooth mineral content by replacing the lost hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite as soon as the pH rises above the critical solubility pH.
