**Hardest tissue is DENTINE which is covered by the hardest substance of body, named ENAMEL.
Explanation:
Dentine is made of odontoblast cells. Enamel is deposited by ameloblast cells but the cells are lost after tooth eruption.
70% of dentine is inorganic salt. It is less mineralised compared to the enamel, but its mineral composition is higher than the bones.
