Name the hardest material present in the body ?

  • A.Dentin
  • B.Pulp
  • C.Enamel
  • D.None of these

Answer: C

The hardest material in the body is Enamel.

Tooth enamel is about 96 per cent mineral, almost all of it crystals of hydroxyapatite (a calcium phosphate), which makes it harder than bone.

Dentin, the layer under the enamel, is less mineralised and softer. The pulp at the centre of the tooth is soft tissue holding nerves and blood vessels. Since enamel is in the list, 'None of these' is wrong.
