Figure 7. Resin-casted and acid-etched SEM analyses.

Figure 7

In the resin infiltration and acid-etched SEM images of the mandibular first molar, the dentinal tubules in the WT mice (A) had a uniform distribution of dentinal tubules running to parallel to one another towards the DEJ. The dentinal tubules in the Dspp KO mice (B) appeared fewer in number when compared to the WT sample and were disorganized in their orientation. The dentinal tubules in the Dspp KO/DSP Tg mice (C) were completely collapsed, tangled and could not even be distinguished. Bar: 50 μm
