Abstract

Crystal formations on the surface of dentine etched using 38% ortophosphoric acid were observed after the dentin had been exposed to 95% ethanol in solution for 30 days at room temperature. The 3D visualization of surface formations was carried out using scanning electron microscopy and Alicona 3D MeX software (Alicona GmbH). Metric characteristics of the mentioned above structures were determined and the nature of possible errors on the steps of model design was studied. It was shown that the shape of the crystal models were likely to be approximated by ellipsoid segments.
