title: [Scanning electron microscope study of unerupted enamel surface in adult patients].
abstract: We have undertaken a scanning electron microscope study of the enamel surface of the third molar in adult patients. The enamel surface are partially covered by a thin cuticle. The arrangement of the enamel prisms was clearly observed in the basal region of the cusps.
