A Morphological Study of Enamel-Dentin Border on the Japanese Dentition

Abstract

The exterior surface of the enamel layer of the teeth has frequently beensubject of morphological, morphogenetic and anthropological considerations. But regarding the interior surface of the enamel cap (enamel-dentin border), a few studies have been reported. To ascertain the morphological relationships between enamel surface and enamel-dentin border of the maxillary median incisor, the enamel has been artificially removed by means of acids.
