Abstrakt		Fifty-two teeth were sectioned and embedded such taht the structural characteristics of the palatal enamel could be examined by scanning electron microscopy. Measurements were made of the height of aprismatic cervical enamel, of cervical enamel with atypically shaped prisms, and of cervical enamel without Hunter-Schreger bands. Enamel thickness 80, 1000 and 2500 micro m occlusally from the cervical enamel border, the maximum thickness of cervical enamel with atypical prism chape and that of aprismatic cervical enamel, and the thcikness of occlusal enamel were also measured. The height of cervical enamel with atypical prism shape ranged between 103 and 756 micro m, and was inversely related to the thickness of atypically structured enamel, suggesting that atypical enamel formation formation follows some order. Atypical enamel in the cervical area may affect caries susceptibility as well as the efficacy of acid-etching in this region.
