Abstract
The enamel protein layer was most prominent close to the dentine-enamel junction and was largely absent in cuspal enamel >400 μm away from the dentine enamel junction. We hypothesize that this protein containing matrix layer could provide an important biomechanical linkage between the enamel and the dentine-enamel junction and by extension, with the dentine, of the adult tooth (246 words).
