Recalcification of Artificially Decalcified Dentin In Vivo

Abstract
Cavity floor dentin of dog teeth was artificially decalcified in vivo by acid to investigate recalcification. The first decalcified layer was soft with low calcium content and could be recalcified only slightly by external deposition from saliva or capping. The second layer was decalcified intermediately and could be recalcified to a considerable degree by vital reaction.
