Mineralization of Dentin
Peritubular dentin is not deposited in interglobular dentin (A) or predentin. These two forms of dentin are similar in that they are hypomineralized. The deposition of peritubular dentin cannot be visualized in this image of globular (B) and interglobular dentin because the section has been demineralized. It does however reflect the manner in which fusion of globules of mineralized dentin eventually form a homogeneous mass.
