Table 2.

Four transformations (1–4) of the tooth tissue volumes resulting in 10 outcomes (1 and 2–4a–c)

1. Total: pulp + predentine + hard tooth tissue
2. x/(total − x) 3. x/total 4. (x + y)/total
(a) Pulp/(total − pulp) (a) Pulp/total (a) (Pulp + predentine)/total
(b) Predentine/(total − predentine) (b) Predentine/total (b) (Pulp + hard tooth tissue)/total
(c) Hard tooth tissue/(total − hard tooth tissue) (c) Hard tooth tissue/total (c) (Predentine + hard tooth tissue)/total

x and y are either pulp, predentine, or hard tooth tissue shown in outcomes a–c for the transformations 2–4
