Dentin and Pulp Flashcards
Accessory canals
extra opening in the pulp near the apex or periodontal ligament
Contour lines of Owen
Imbrication lines that demonstrate disurbances in formation - like neonatal lines
Coronal pulp
top of the pulp
Globular dentin
area where primary and secondary mineralization occurs - complete crystalline fusion
Imbrication lines of von Ebner
incremental lines that show daily appositional layering of dentin
Interglobular dentin
area where ONLY primary mineralization occurs - less mineralized
Pulp Chamber
shape corresponds to the shape of the tooth
Pulp stones
odontoblast forming globules or irritation - fasle amorphous - true dentin + tubule + odontontoblastic process
Radicular pulp
Root canal
Sclerotic dentin
type of dentin seen in response to chronic injury - odontoblastic process dies
Tome’s granular layer
poorly calcified dentin found near DEJ
