Across
- 2. Partially mineralized vertical sheets of enamel matrix that extend from the DEJ near the tooth's cervix to the outer occlusal surface
- 5. A pronounced incremental line of Retzius
- 7. Enamel loss through chemical means
- 8. The incremental lines that appear in a microscopic section of mature enamel
- 12. Forms enamel matrix during the secretory phase
- 13. Represent short dentule tubules near the DEJ
- 14. The wearing away of hard tissue as a result of tooth-to-tooth contact
- 15. Enamel loss that results from friction caused by excessive toothbrushing
- 16. Surrounding the outer part of each enamel rod
Down
- 1. The crystalline formation of mature enamel consists of mostly
- 3. Enamel loss through tensile and compressive forces during tooth flexure
- 4. Demineralization of the enamel due to acid production
- 6. Refers to initial carious lesion development before cavitation occurs
- 9. Small dark brushes with their base near the DEJ
- 10. Forms the crystalline structural unit of enamel
- 11. Grooves that are usually lost through tooth wear
