title: Root caries: distribution and uptake of elements in lesions adjacent to silicate or amalgam restorations.
abstract: In carious lesions adjacent to silicate or amalgam restorations outer lesions of the cementum showed the same content and distribution of Ca, P, Mg, and S as did primary lesions in this area, but differed from these in having an increased content of Zn, Al, and probably F (silicate cases) and Zn, Sn, and Cu (amalgam cases). The cementum walls showed an uptake of ions largely similar to that previously described in dentinal walls.
