Abstract:Objectives
The aim of the study was to evaluate the mineralization and resin bonding capacity of coronal secondary dentine at various ages.
Materials and Methods
The mineral to matrix ratio (M) of mandibular incisor coronal sections classified in three age groups (I:21-40y/n=7, II: 41-60y/n=5, III: 61-80y/n=7) were measured by Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FTIRM), at incisal (MC) and pulpal (MP) secondary dentine and at primary dentine (MR). Then, the difference between MC-MP normalized by the corresp… Show more
