SEM micrographs of partially demineralized dentin: (a) indicating the orientations of intertubular collagen fibrils; and (b) indicating that tubule opening is larger and spacing is denser for deep dentin as opposed to shallow dentin. As is evident, the structure and properties of dentin substrate vary with location and can affect the bond formation (Marshall et al. 1997).
