Organization and Orientation of Minerals in Teeth
Description
A) Anatomy of a tooth, including the locations of the shallow/deep dentin and inner/outer dentin. B) The direction of the collagen fibril long axis in relation to the c-axis of the dentin apatite. C) Collagen fibrils are perpendicular to the dentin tubule axes and the mineralizing front. D) Planes of the tooth oriented perpendicular to and in-plane with dentin tubules. Dashed arrows = direction of the collagen fibrils
