How Enamel Is Formed?
Enamel formation results from the secretion of an extracellular matrix (ECM) by secretory ameloblasts and its eventual mineralization. Some enamel proteins diffuse in the outer layer forming predentin/dentin. The first enamel layer is aprismatic.

Enamel can repair itself by using minerals from saliva, and fluoride from toothpaste or other sources. But if the tooth decay process continues, more minerals are lost. Over time, the enamel is weakened and destroyed, forming a cavity. A cavity is permanent damage that a dentist has to repair with a filling.
