Enamel Microcracks Induced by Simulated Occlusal Wear in Mature, Immature, and Deciduous Teeth

<div><i>The outcomes of ISWT on each group</i>. The schematic representation to the right of each group is a simplistic differentiation tool to compare the images of surface microcracks. M: mature enamel. IM: immature enamel. D: deciduous Enamel. WB: enamel window border. WA: wear area. C: crater, <i>μ</i>CRK: surface microcracks are shown with their corresponding schemes (scale bar = 1000 <i>μ</i>m).</div>
