DENTIN BOOK Flashcards
Arises during the initial phase of dentinogenesis
Mantle dentin
Outer thin layer of dentin
INITIAL DENTIN FORMED
150mm thick
running parallel with dej
Mantle dentin
Consists of thick collagen alpha fibrils
Mantle dentin
Surrounds the pulp
Circumpulpal dentin
Bulk of dentin mass between mantle and pulpal space
Circumpulpal dentin
Consists of beta fibrils
Circumpulpal dentin
Represents the continuing but much slower deposition of dentin by odontoblasts AFTER ROOT FORMATION has been completed
Secondary dentin
Changes in pulp space
Pulp recession
Changes from primary to secondary marked by abrupt changes in tubular pattern. This line of directional change is called
Schregers line
Result of defensive activitiesof the pulp dentin complex
Tertiary dentin
Dentin may have vascular inclusion
Vasodentin
Dentin may appear similar to bone
Osteodentin
Tertiary dentin is only found in the
Dentin pulp interface
Unmineralized dentin matrix that lines INNERMOST portion of dentin
Predentin
Impt in maintaining the integrity of dentin bec when absent dentin is vulnerable to RESORPTION BY ODONTOClast
Predentin
Formed in vital teeth throughout life
Peritubular or intratubular
Dentinal matrix that COVERS WALLS, VERY DENSE
intratubular
Loc bet dentinal tubules
Main bulk of dentinal matl
Less dense, less radiopaque
Intertubular
Represents primary secretory product of odontoblasts and consists large amt of type 1 collagen
Intertubular dentin
Regularly arranged canals that extend from tooth pulp to dej and to dcj
Dentinal tubules
Direction of dentinal tubules at
Incisal:
Proximal:
I: straight
P: s shaped
Primary curvatures directed
Secondary directed
1: coronally
2: apically
Tubules that extend upto enamel
Enamel spindles
Contains dentinal fluid! Collagen fibrils, peritubular dentinmatrix.
Plays a role in the PHYSIOLOGIC MAINTENANCE OF DENTIN
