Abstract
⺠We analyzed the microstructure and composition of the peritubular dentin organic matrix. ⺠We found a membrane named lamina limitans covering the dentin tubule walls after demineralization. ⺠Protruding from the lamina limitans we found noncollagenous filaments forming a complex network. ⺠Digestion with C-ABC suggested the filaments are primarily composed of glycosaminoglycans. ⺠Trypsin treatment suggested that lamina limitans is mainly composed of proteoglycan protein cores.
