A schematic of the size variation of HAp crystals within human enamel and dentine upon heating. The crystals in enamel are needle-shaped while those in dentine are platelet-shaped. In temperature range I, the interaction between crystals and the protein matrix occurs, whereas in temperature range II, the protein matrix gradually disappears, and the interaction is weakened.
