Influence of de-remineralization process on chemical, microstructural, and mechanical properties of human and bovine dentin

ConclusionsHuman and bovine dentin are different in terms of microstructure, chemical composition, mechanical strength, and in their response to the demineralization/remineralization process by pH-cycling.Clinical relevanceThese dissimilarities may constitute a potential limitation when replacing human teeth with bovines in in vitro studies.
