Figure. (A) The sectioning of the teeth and the location where microhardness, mineralization, and INAA (enamel and dentin) testing were performed. (B) The exact location of microhardness measurements,the microhardness calculation at each point, and the microhardness parameters’ calculation. (C) An example of the mineralization pattern (histogram), the logit (mineralization pattern) calculation, and the location of the mineralization measurements (dentin total, dentin top, and dentin working and non-working cusps).
