- DEJ appears as a scalloped line.
- The convexities of scallop are directed towards the dentine
- The surface of dentine appears pitted
- DEJ provides strength to the union between enamel and dentin
Clinical Significance:
- Prevents shearing of enamel when functioning.
- Scalloping of the junction is seen more in the occlusal portion where masticatory stresses are high.
