Which tissue is the hardest?

Published in Hard Tissues 1 min read

The hardest tissue in the human body is enamel. Enamel is the outermost layer of teeth and is primarily composed of hydroxyapatite, a mineral that gives it its strength and hardness. Unlike other tissues, enamel is non-living and does not contain nerves.

While enamel is the hardest tissue in the body, it can still degrade over time due to factors like acid erosion and mechanical wear.
