Enamel 10 Symposium builds on a successful series of international symposia on tooth enamel that began in London in 1964. Historically the Symposia have covered a broad range of topics and have had tremendous international participation bringing together researchers from diverse fields of study. The purpose of the Symposium is to promote open discussion and exchange of ideas amongst an international group of scientists from across the career spectrum working in the field of dental enamel research and in related fields. Specifically, the proposed conference is designed to:

• critically address significant advances in enamel research that have taken place since the 2016 Enamel IX Symposium;

• promote the further understanding of the properties of tooth enamel and mechanisms of its formation and destruction in vivo;

• encourage communication and collaboration among attendees from clinical, basic and translational science disciplines;

• stimulate new ideas that will serve as the basis for the development of novel biomimetic and therapeutic approaches for the repair and/or regeneration of the enamel tissue, as well as strategies for the prevention of enamel decay;

• encourage the involvement of new investigators, minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in this growing area of research;

• disseminate the presented new knowledge through a published Enamel 10 meeting proceedings in a peer-reviewed journal, thus broadening national and global accessibility of critical findings.
