Compared to enamel dentin has a _________ compression strength
higher
_______ cushions the overlying more brittle ______
dentin
enamel

DEJ
Dentinogenesis beings during the _____ Stage
Bell
What occurs just prior to dentinogenesis?

- crown outline present
- no odontoblasts or ameloblasts
During the ______ Bell Stage inner enamel epithelial cells contain ameloblasts, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells (dental papilla) contains odontoblasts, dentin an enamel secreted
Late
Dentinogensis from _____ _____ to cervix and from periphery to ______ ______
cusp tip
pulp center
What part of tooth germ does dentinogenesis begin?
most coronal portion
Inductive signals for odontoblast differention is secreted from the _____ ______ most likely from cells of the ______ ______
enamel organ
enamel knot
______ is one molecule implicated in inducing odontoblast differentiation and expression immediately _______ the wave of odontoblast differentiation
Wnt 10a
precedes
Wnt 10a is 1st expressed in the enamel knot then in preodonotblasts in the cusp tip and then in more ______ parts of the tooth
cervical
Wnt 10a induces _______ a molecule expressed by mature odontoblasts
DSPP
dentin sialophosphoprotein
Odontoblasts secrete _____ _____ then the matrix is mineralized in progressive stages
organic matrix
_____ is unmineralized organic matrix of dentin
predentin
What are the 2 requirements for mineralization?
- Ca2+ & phosphate
- initiation of crystal formation
_____ required for mineralization comes from (free ions) in plasma
Ca2+
_______ required for mineralization comes from plasma + cleavage of organic molecules containing phosphate in odontoblast by alkaline phosphataste
Phosphate
Ca2+ and phosphate are transported into predentin through and btw __________
odontoblasts
By itself presence of requisite ions is not sufficient. It requires special mechanisms for the initiation of _______ formation
crystal
What are the 2 mechanisms associated with the 2 stages of dentin formation?
Mantle (initial)
Circumpulpal (subsequent)
_____ _____ is the initial layer of dentin (ultimately the DEJ)

The collagen of the mantle has relatively ______ fibrils oriented at ____ angles to basal lamina/future DEJ
large
right
Mineralization by ______ _____ membrane bound veiscles, synthesized by OBD, concentrate Ca 2+, PO-containing & other organic molecules
matrix vesicles
During mantle dentin formation; _____ secrete matrix then matrix mineralizes, ________ grow, process elongates (barrier btw dentin + pulp), ________ migrate toward pulp center ________ forms around process
odontoblasts
odonotblasts
odontoblasts
dentin
Near the end of mantle dentin formation, one process becomes more ________
dominant
_________ dentin is interior to mantle dentin, thicker, overall process is very similar; organic matrix secreted, then mineralized
Circumpulpal
Circumpulpal dentin contains collagen type I secreted by ________ cell bodies, ______ fibrils that are ______ to the basal lamina
odontoblast
smaller
parallel
Circumpulpal dentin is mineralized by _______ not matrix vesicles
