Elements of Hard Tissues, Detectable by Vibrational Spectroscopy 

Vibrational spectroscopy provides information on the functional groups present in the mineral and organic matrix components of hard tissues, as well as their molecular neighborhood [2,3]. The mineralized tissue components and properties that can be easily determined through both Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) or Raman spectroscopic analysis and their biological significance are as follows
