Dentin and Pulp Flashcards
what forms dentin and pulp
ectomesenchymal cells of the dental papilla
outer cells of dental papilla will become ___________ in late bell stage and form ________
odontoblasts
dentin
central cells of the dental papilla will form what
pulp
comprises bulk of tooth and protects pulp
dentin
covered by enamel
coronal dentin
covered by cementum
radicular dentin
what is the composition of dentin
70% hydroxyapatite, 20% organic material (type I collagen)
put bone, dentin, enamel, and cementum in order from hardest to softest
enamel > dentin > cementum > bone
is dentin vascular or avascular
avascular
make dentin porous
dentinal tubules
cells in the inner enamel epithelium differentiate into what
preameloblasts
preameloblasts induce outer dental papilla to differentiate into what
odontoblasts
what do odontoblasts secrete
predentin
after predentin is secreted, the ________________ between the two cell types disintegrates
basement membrane
dentin induces preameloblasts to differentiate into ____________ that secrete the enamel matrix
secretory ameloblasts
formation of dentin
dentinogenesis
what are the two phases of dentinogenesis
- apposition of matrix (secretion of predentin)
- mineralization of predentin
what is the first substance laid down by odontoblasts
predentin
is predentin calcified or noncalcified
noncalcified
predentin is mostly made of _____________
collagen fibers
odontoblast cell bodies move away from dentin to remain with the pulp
dentinogenesis
what does each dentinal tubule contain
dentinal fluid, odontoblastic process, and part of an afferent nerve axon
run from DEJ to pulp
dentinal tubules
what pattern to dentinal tubules follow
primary s shaped curve
the primary s shaped curve of dentinal tubules is more pronounced where
in coronal dentin
lines of dentin deposition in mature dentin
imbrication lines of von Ebner
what do imbrication lines of von Ebner look like
growth rings in a tree
