Organic density enamel

Figure 32.2 Changes in the inorganic, water and organic matter content of enamel with density during maturation. The full lines represent Deakins original values ineluding his correction for carbonate. The dotted lines include an additional correction for 1-2% of bound water...

The composition of enamel at the beginning and end of maturation is given in Table 32.2, while the values for inorganic matter, water and organic matter in various intermediate stages of maturation are plotted against density in Figure 32.2.
