1) underdeveloped Rashkov plexus;
2) perikymata;

4) immaturity of nervous tissue;
5) low degree of mineralisation;
6) lots of interprismatic substance. The correct answear is:
  1. A. 1,2,6.
  2. B. 1,4.
  3. C. 2,3.
  4. D. 2,4.
  5. E. 3,5.

Look for what is still immature in the nerve supply of the pulp–dentine complex, not for features of enamel structure.
