Table I. Measurements of enamel and dentine mineral density and microhardness.
Affected Tooth: Enamel | Control Tooth: Enamel | Affected Tooth: Dentine | Control Tooth: Dentine | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mineral Density (Vol %) | 86.0 ± 7.6 | 83.0 ± 1.0 | 43.3 ± 5.1 | 34.7 ± 3.1 |
Microhardness (kH) | 607.2 ± 28.7 | 317.4 ± 15.2 | 177.3 ±17.3 | 207.9 ±10.3 |
Measurements for an affected compared to a matched control tooth. Measurements were made at 6 different locations across sections of both tooth types, showing means and SDs.
