When observed by SEM, after being treated with the HCl-collagenase method, the odontoblast processes extended throughout the whole thickness of dentin in intact teeth and the whole thickness of normal and the inner carious dentin in carious teeth. Small holes and depressions were found on the processes in the transparent layer.
