Trace element analysis of human tooth enamel by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry for estimation of region of origin

Tooth enamel is among the most durable substances in the human body and as such has high recoverability in forensic anthropology cases. Its crystalline hydroxyapatite matrix has a slightly variable chemical composition which incorporates biologically available trace elements. The trace elements ar...
