ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the adsorption behavior of enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) on the enamel surface and study their effect on biomineralization of enamel using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique.</p><p><b>METHODS AND RESULTS</b>The EMPs were adsorbed on the enamel surface to form a protein film, which was soaked in simulated body fluid solutions. After 30 days of biomimetic mineralization, the hydroxyapatite nucleation, growth and aggregation occurred with hydroxyapatite crystal formation on the enamel surface.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The EMPs play a key role in regulating enamel mineralization.</p>
