Dentin on the nanoscale: Hierarchical organization, mechanical behavior and bioinspired engineering

Knowledge of the structural organization and mechanical properties of dentin has expanded considerably during the past two decades, especially on a nanometer scale. In this paper, we review the recent literature on the nanostructural and nanomechanical properties of dentin, with special emphasis in its hierarchical organization.
