The effects of enamel anisotropy on the distribution of stress in a tooth by Spears, I R, van Noort, R, Crompton, R H, Cardew, G E, Howard, I C

“…Enamel is thought to have highly anisotropic stiffness characteristics, because of its prismatic structure. It is probable that the enamel is stiffer in the…”
