Q

What happens to the direction of the dentinal tubules in secondary dentin?

A

Sudden change in direction

22
Q

Do the secondary or primary dentin have closer incremental lines?

A

Secondary

23
Q

What has slower deposition, primary or secondary dentin?

A

Secondary, thus less regular

24
Q
A

Contour line of Owen

25
Q

What causes tertiary dentin to form?

A

External stimuli might induce the pulp t produce more calcified material

26
Q

What structure produces tertiary dentine?

A

Pulp produce more calcified material

27
Q

Where does the tertiary dentine form?

A

Border of the pulp

28
Q

When does tertiary dentin form irregularly vs regularly?

A

When a strong stimulus occurs, dentin needs to form quickly = irregular

29
Q

What is reparative dentine?

A

Newly formed cells, produce hard tissues similar to dentin

30
Q

What is reactionary dentin?

A

More dentin formed by the original odontoblasts

31
Q

What is the appearance of tertiary dentin?

A

Variable

May be… tubular, contain few irregular tubules or tubular

32
Q
A

A = tertiary dentin
B = pre-dentin
C = odontoblasts

33
Q

What cells make tertiary dentine?

A

Odontoblasts

34
Q

What type of tertiary dentin is formed by original odontoblasts?

A

Reactionary dentin

35
Q

What type of stimulus makes reactionary dentin?

A

Small stimulus

36
Q

What type of tertiary dentin is formed when the stimulus is very string? (Kills original odontoblasts)

A

Stem cells in pulp differentiate into odontoblast-like cells and produce reparative dentin

37
Q

What cells form reparative dentin?

A

Odontoblast- like cells (from stem cells)

38
Q

When’d ones sclerotic dentin form?

A

The stimulus induce the deposition of material inside tubules

39
Q

What occludes the tubules to form sclerotic dentin?

A

The Stimulus

40
Q

What is sclerotic dentin similar to and what is the difference?

A

Similar to transparent dentin

However, sclerotic dentin is in response to stimulus and not physiological

41
Q

When can you normally see sclerotic dentin?

A

Under slowly progressing caries lesions

42
Q
A

A = enamel
B = fissure
C = mantle dentin

43
Q
A

Sclerotic dentin

44
Q

What occludes sclerotic dentin?

A

Intratubular dentine

And precipitation of minerals from dissolved enamel

45
Q

What happens when primary odontoblasts are killed by external stimuli? (Before filled with sclerotic dentin)

A

Dead tracts of fish

46
Q

What are dead tracts of fish?

A

Empty tubules

47
Q

What colour will empty tubules appear?

A

Black

48
Q

What might seal the dead tracts of fish at the pulpal end?

A

Tertiary dentin

49
Q

What is shown in black ?

A

Dead tracts of fish

50
Q

What do odontoblast do at the pulpal end of the dead tracts of fish?

A

Occlude the dentine and tubules by sclerotic dentine formation to protect the pulp from insult coming from various lesion
