Abstract
The macromineral concentrations in enamel and dentin from 175 permanent, sound teeth were related to age, sex, and number of DMFT in the patients. Calcium, phosphorus, chlorine, and potassium concentrations were greater in enamel than in dentin, but magnesium was higher in dentin. Analytical methods were compared for four elements.Keywords
