Root caries: distribution and uptake of elements in lesions adjacent to silicate or amalgam restorations.
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.
