Dentinogenesis and Inherited Dentin Defects Flashcards
What is Dentin by volume
50% mineral
30% organic matrix
what makes up the Organic matrix of Dentin by weight
90% Collagen
90% of non-collagen is Derived from DSPP (Dentin Sialophosphoportein)
-also: dentin matrix protein, osteonectin, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin, proteoglycans…
what do Odontoblasts differentiate from
Dental papilla cells
A long cytoplasmic extension encased in dentin
Odontoblastic process
Rate of Dentin deposition
4 micrometers per days
How is Dentin deposited as
Incrementally as lines of Owen (or Von ebner)
what does the pulp chamber and root canal shrink in size over life
Dentin formation occures throughout life
layers of the pulp from outisde to insde
Odontoblastic layer
CEll-free zone
Cell-rich zone
Pulper core
what is found in the cell-free zone
Nerve and capillary plexus
what is found in the cell rich zone
Extensive vascular system
how do Lines of Von ebner grow
Grow 1 day at a time horizontal and at a right angle to dentinal tubules
what do Lines of von ebner form
Accentuated lines due to disturbances in mineralization
why is Dentin sensitive
By odontoblast processes
where does more terminal branching of dentin tubules occure
In root dentin (more than in coronal dnetin)
Shape of Dentin tubules in the crown and the root
Crown: S shaped
Root: Strait
size of dentinal tubules
1-3 micrometers in diameter
does the crown or root have more dentin tubules
More in the crown
are there more dnetin tubles near the pulp or the surface
More near the pulp
what is Predentin
The fibrillar organic matrix before its calcification
what is primary dnetin
Dentin made during tooth formation
what type of dentin makes up the tooth
primary dentin
other name for Primary Dnetin
Circumpulpal dentin
the outer layer of primary dnetin
Mantle dentin
when is secondary dentin formed
By the slow continual deposition of dentin by odontoblasts following the completetion of the roots
what happens the change of primary and secondary dentin
tubular structures is continuous but changes direction
why does pulp recession occure
Deposotion of secondary dentin is fastest on the roof and floor of the pulp chamber
why does Tertiary dentin form
Local reaction to attrition, caries, or dental restoration
what determines the architecture (quality) of tertiary dentin
Depends on the intensity and duration of the stimulus
Tubules present in the dentin
Continuous
Sparse
Irregular
Absent
Types of Tertiary dentin
Reactionary Dentin
Reparative Dentin
what formes Reactionary dentin
Preexisting odontoblasts
what forms Reparative dentin
Newly differentiated odontoblast-like cells
