Abstract
Recent investigations of the nature of chemical and biological processes with respect of environmental induced changes in biological hard tissues proceed beyond phenome-nological and morphological observations to the question of whether and in what way the long term fate of bone and tooth mineral involve changes in the molecular and chemical structure and the stoichiometry of basic components. All previous observations demonstrate incontestably that many factors contribute to the initiation and spread of hard tissue decay and several to the transformation and recrystallization processes; nevertheless these processes have been clearly shown to be influenced specifically by certain chemical substances — the trace elements in particular.
