Abstract The aim of the present study is to explore 3-D micromorphology human canine teeth materials using multifractal analysis through atomic force microscopy (AFM). surfaces ten extracted a group 40 year old men were studied (enamel, inter enamel, dentin, and cementum) by AFM images in tapping mode on square areas 1 μm × (512 512 points). surface confirm dependency their structure–property these across length scales structural architecture. Surface statistical parameters hence, approach have been considered as reliable sensitive tools for quantifying microtexture changes materials. dentin had most irregular topography (the width spectrum Δ α = 2.8361, value bigger than all other sample values), while regular 2.6804, lower values) was found cementum. It has concluded that analyses can be used mathematical
