Q

tertiary dentin

A

it is made due to a stimulus such as caries, trauma or attrition or restorative dental procedure. tertiary dentine is only produced by those cells which receive the stimulus
the quantity depends on cellular response initiated which depends on the intensity of the stimulus

Q

pattern of dentin formation of crown/coronal

A

papillary tissue adjacent to the folded inner enamel epithelium the place of cuspal development, is the site where dentin formation starts and it spreads downwards till the cervical loop of enamel organ and then it starts thickens till all the coronal dentin is formed
in multicuspal, same procedure happens within each cusp until fusion with adjacent formative center occurs

Q

pattern of dentin formation of root

Study These Flashcards
A

the formation of root dentine takes place at later stage of development, it involves proliferation of epithelial cells (HERS) from the cervical loop of enamel organ around the growing pulp to initiate the differentiation of root odontoblast
till the time the tooth take its functional position 2/3 of its dentine is formed.

22
Q

dentine development in deciduous tooth and permanent teeth

Study These Flashcards
A

not until 18 months in deciduous

2-3 years after permanent have erupted

23
Q

formative organ and cells of dentine are

Study These Flashcards
A

dental papilla and odontoblast

24
Q

odontoblast differentiation takes place how

Study These Flashcards
A

it takes place by differentiation of odontoblast from dental papilla by signaling of molecules and growth factor

25
procedure of odontoblast differentiation
the cells of dental papilla are undifferentiated and small and have central nucleus and small organelles, the space between the dental papilla and inner enamel epithelium is called acellular zone, once the cells of inner enamel epithelium reverse polarity changes take place in cell of dental papilla, the ectomesenchymal cells adjoin the acellular zone enlarge and elongate to become preodontoblast and then odontoblast the acellular zone disappears as more cells differentiate into odontoblast
26
formation of mantle dentin
large diameter collagen fibers (von Korffs ) fibers which are assocated with collagen III and fibronectin, originate deep into odontoblast, extend into inner enamel epithelium and fan out into the stucterless ground substance below inner enamel epithelium, they also produce collagen type I that orients itself parallels to dentinoenamel junction and that hoe mantle predentin appears
27
enamel spindle
plasma membrane of odontoblast with adjacent ameloblast extend stubby processes into the forming extracellular matrix, these process interposing between the cells of inner enamel epithelium makes up the enamel spindle
28
how dentine mineralizes
matrix vesicles present near basal lamina, single crystal seeded by phospholipid ruptures and releases a cluster of crystallites joining the adjacent crystals making up a continuous layer of mineralized matrix
29
size of mantle dentine
15-20 micrometer
30
the two patterns of mineraization
globular and linear
31
globular mineralization
deposition of crystals in discrete area in matrix by heterogenous capture in collagen it takes place usually in mantle dentin at different mineralization foci made by matrix vesicles. different globular masses are formed which in the end fuse together to form one whole mineralized mass
32
linear mineralization
when the rate of formation progresses slowly, and the mineralization front appears more uniform which is known as linear
33
formation of root dentin
it is formed by ODONTOBLAST differentiation initiated by HERS outermost layer of root dentin which is equivalent to mantle dentin in crown, shows different in orientation and organization of collagen fibers, it is a slower process of deposition, the degree of mineralization is different from coronal dentin, and phosphoprotein content is different
34
secondary dentin dentinogenesis
its similar to that of primary dentin but it takes place after root formation has completed. it has a much slower pace of dentinogenesis, u can see a difference in staining, a demarcation, the arrangement of tubules are different, irregular and some places absent completely as the layer becomes thicker the inner surface is reduced, odontoblast get crowded and die eventually
35
tertiary dentin dentinogeneis
it is deposited at specific sites as a response to some injury or trauma
36
what are dentinal tubules
odontoblastic process that run on canaliculi that transverse the entire length of dentine. they cover the entire thickness of dentine from the dentinoenamel junction to the minelization front. tubules follow an S shaped path
37
the curvatures (S SHAPED) in dentinal tubule are cause?
from the crowding of and the path odontoblast that they take to move to the center of the pulp
38
dead tract
tubules in carious lesions may fill up with bacteria and appear darkly stained in histo slides the process in these tubules may disintegrate or retract leaving air spaces behind which is called as dead tract
39
peritubular dentine
the collar of tubule which are highly calcified are peritubular dentine they are hype mineralized, contains little collagen
40
sclerotic dentin
dentinal tubules that have become highly calcified. when this occurs in many dentinal tubules at the same time the dentine gives a glassy translucent appearance. sclerotic dentin increases with age
41
reasons of sclerotic dentin
1. deposition of many peritubular dentine 2. deposition of mineral within the tubule without the formation of dentine 3. deposition of mineral that occurs in viable presence of odontoblast process 4. mineralization of process itself with tubular contents. including intratubular collagen fiber
42
Intertubular Dentin
the dentin between the dentinal tubules. it contains the formative product of odontoblast and makes interwoven network of type I collagen fibers around which apatite crystals are deposited the ground substance has non collagenous matrix proteins and plasma proteins
43
interglobular dentin
the areas which are unmineralized or hypomineralized dentin where globular zones of mineralization failed to fuse or failure of fusion of calcospherites
44
cause of formation of interglobular dentin
deficiency of vitamin D OR exposed to high level of fluoride (fluorosis)
45
where interglobular dentin can be seen
circumpulpal dentin where globular mineralization is highest
46
granular layer of tomes
under trasmitted light in ground section u can see granular area right below dentin where the cementum covers the root. porgessive increase in granulaity increase from cementoenamel junction to the apex of the tooth
47
reasons for the formation of granular layer of tomes
it was believed to be associated with hypomineralized areas of interglobular dentine or true spaces later it was know to be the looped terminal portions of dentinal tubule of only root dentin which shows granulation due to refraction of light latest studies show its the arrangement of collagenous and non collagenous matrix protein between the dentin and cementum
48
where odontoblast are found
near the surface of predentin where they form peripheral part of dental pulp.
49
non collagenous matrix proteins present in dentin
1. dentin phosphoprotein 2. dentil sialoprotein 3. dentin glycoprotein 4. dentin matrix protein 1 5. osteonectin, osteopontin and osteocalcin 6. bone sialoprotein 7. phopshoglycoportein 8. proteoglycans
50
pulp recession
the deposition of secondary dentin around roof and floor of the chamber leads reduction in size and shape of pulp chamber ( old people have more pulp recession than young people)
51
sclerotic dentine is most common in
apical third of the root and the crown midway between DEJ and the pulp
