Correct answer: C. Peritubular dentin
- A. Dentinal tubules
- B. Inter tubular dentin
- C. Peritubular dentin
- 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.
