Abstract
The area of the organic-inorganic interface of several kinds of dental enamel was determined by examining on a computer images based on electron micrographs of decalcified sections. The mean values varied between 0.1363 m2/mm3 and 0.2229 m2/mm3. Assuming a specific gravity for dental enamel of 3.15 the corresponding values were 43 m2/g and 71 m2/g, respectively. The possibility that fluoride may influence the area of the organic-inorganic interface was discussed.Keywords
