Reviewer 3 Report

This is an interesting piece of work involving crystallographic and other syudeis with bovine and human teeth. This work has been generally carried out well so I recommend its publication. However, there are a couple of concerns that should be addressed. 

1) The Introduction section needs substantial improvement. It's not all lucid and anyone who is not directly involved in this particular research area will have a hard time following this smoothly, so I highly recommend the authors rewrite the Introduction section.

2) There are sentence construction errors in several places in the manuscript. All those issues should be fixed prior to final approval for publication.

Response to the comment: The Introduction has been revised as follows:

In order to apply dental materials to dental practice, their physical, chemical, and biological properties must first be evaluated in vitro. In dental research, it is necessary to simulate human extracted teeth as a model. However, human teeth are not sufficient in quantity or quality.

 

2) There are sentence construction errors in several places in the manuscript. All those issues should be fixed prior to final approval for publication.

Response to the comment: The layout has been fixed, and the manuscript has been edited by English Editing service recommended by MDPI. 

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report
