The surface thickness of Dspp–/– enamel is similar to Dspp+/–, while the total enamel thickness is similar in both genotypes. Measurements of enamel thickness erupted portions of incisors in Dspp+/– and Dspp–/– one-month-old mice. A. SEM micrograph of the Dspp–/– erupted incisor showing total enamel thickness in green, surface enamel thickness in red, bulk enamel thickness in blue and inner enamel thickness in yellow. The inset shows the line along which the measurements were carried out, connecting labial and lingual corners of the pulp cavity; B. SEM micrograph of the Dspp+/– erupted incisor with the bulk enamel thickness shown in blue and the surface enamel thickness in yellow; C. The histograms show total enamel thickness, outer enamel thickness and outer to total enamel thickness ratio. One asterisk identifies p < 0.05, two asterisks identify p < 0.01. D—dentin, E—enamel.
