Which of the following dentinal layers is more mineralized______________?

Correct answer: A. Peritubular dentin

  • A. Peritubular dentin
  • B. Inter tubular dentin
  • C. Dentinal tubules
  • D. Circum pulpal dentin

Explanation

Peritubular dentin is more highly mineralized than intertubular dentin because it forms a mineral-rich sheath around each dentinal tubule. Dentinal tubules themselves are spaces, not a mineralized dentinal layer.
