Abstract
EVIDENCE for the presence of lipids in sound human dentine has indicated that they are present in the dentinal tubules1, though, following an unmasking treatment with hot pyridine, they also have been observed in the matrix, at the junction of dentine and predentine2. This communication reports on the use of other unmasking techniques, combined with various histochemical stains, to investigate further the lipid components of this tissue.
