Q

What is secondary dentine?

A

Formed after completion of root formation Formed slower & less mineralised than primary Increases the thickness of dentine Causes the canals to get smaller over time

Q

What is granular layer of Tomes?

Q

What is Contour lines of Owen?

A

Accentuated incremental lines in the dentin thought to be due to disturbances in the mineralization process. Only found in the crown area

Q

What is in the crown layer of dentine?

Q

What is the Hyaline layer?

A

Most peripheral layer initially unmineralised dentine 0.5-0.8 μm thick Contains enamel matrix-like protein Initial fibers of the periodontal ligament embed Aids cementum in binding to the dentine Very narrow, non-tubular structure-less band

Q

What chemicals are in Tomes granular layer?

A

Calcium & Phosphorus - see in root

17
Q

What is Predentine?

A

The innermost layer of dentine 10 to 40 μmin thickness Thicker in young teeth Non-mineralised Always adjacent to pulp tissue Very Pale in colour

18
Q

What is Predentine composed of?

A

Collagen & proteoglycans secreted produce Metadentin Matrix deposition precedes mineralisation Secreted by odontoblasts ◦Golgi apparatus◦Mitochondria

19
Q

What is Translucent dentine?

A

Forms with aging due to tubule occlusion by peritubular dentine Found at the root apex Used in forensic dentistry to tell age

20
Q

What is Sclerotic dentine?

A

Tubular occlusion by a stimulus Similar appearance to translucent dentine but related in site to the stimulus

21
Q

What does Sclerotic dentine do?

A

They can just shut down, this is believed to be a protective mechanism to pulp & increase with age

22
Q

What are Dead tracts?

A

When dentine is damaged, odontoblastic processes die or retract leaving empty dentinal tubules, termed dead tracts DT When the dentinal tubules are opened or sufficiently irritated, their contents coagulate and die.

23
Q

How do we get Dead tracks?

A

What dentine is damaged odontbalstic process dies leaving empty tubules DT Odontoblastic processes killed by a stimulus Empty tubules

24
Q

What do Dead tracks look like?

A

Appear dark under transmitted light microscope

25
