The process by which calcium salts are deposited into calcareous tooth structures such as dental enamel, dentine and cementum. The process by which calcium salts, mainly carbonated hydroxyapatite, are deposited into the initial acellular cementum. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of tooth mineralization, the deposition of calcium salts in tooth structures. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of tooth mineralization, the deposition of calcium salts in tooth structures. The process by which calcium salts, mainly carbonated hydroxyapatite, are deposited in tooth enamel. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a tissue over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a tooth or teeth over time, from formation to the mature structure(s). A tooth is any hard bony, calcareous, or chitinous organ found in the mouth or pharynx of an animal and used in procuring or masticating food. Morphogenesis of an organ. An organ is defined as a tissue or set of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Morphogenesis is the process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Formation of hard tissues that consist mainly of inorganic compounds, and also contain a small amounts of organic matrices that are believed to play important roles in their formation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of tooth mineralization, the deposition of calcium salts in tooth structures.
