A theoretical model for the hydraulic conductance of human dentine.
A theoretical model was devised that describes the dependence of the hydraulic conductance of dentine disks on the decrease in dentine tubule radius and dentine tubule density (number per area of cross-section) in the pulp-enamel direction. A parameter that describes the decrease in tubule radius was calculated from experimental results from the literature.
