Affects every exposed tooth surface

33
Q

65% inorganic and 35% organic

34

It gives form and shape of the tooth supporting your enamel

35
Q

Whatever you do to ____ it will affect your pulp

36
Q

is a vital tissue

37
Q

What are the characteristics of Dentin:

A
  • Softer than enamel, harder than bone
  • Made up of dentinal tubules (holes)
  • Light yellowish in color
38
Q

Softer than enamel, harder than bone

39
Q

Made up of dentinal tubules (holes)

40
Q

Light yellowish in color

41
Q

Dentin can form:

A
  • Primary Dentin
  • Secondary Dentin
  • Reparative Dentin/Tertiary Dentin
  • Sclerotic Dentin
  • Eburnated Dentin
42
Q

First laid down dentin until root is finally complete

A

Primary Dentin

43
Q

Continuous to constrict the pulp chamber

A

Secondary Dentin

44
Q

As we grow older the pulp will also constrict in size because of continuous production of ____.

A

Secondary Dentin

45
Q

Is formed when you have carries that are very deep

A

Reparative Dentin/Tertiary Dentin

46
Q

the pulp would try to protect itself by the formation of ____ to make sure that your pulp is not further harmed.

A

Reparative Dentin/Tertiary Dentin

47
Q

Localized to the affected area of the pulp-dentin complex

A

Reparative Dentin/Tertiary Dentin

47
Q

Also called reparative dentin where the barrier protection is superior

A

Tertiary Dentin

48
Q

No continuity regular

A

primary dentin and tertiary dentin

49
Q

Different chemically and structurally from primary and secondary dentin

A

Reparative Dentin/Tertiary Dentin

50
Q

Formed for the pulp to be protected from further injury

A

Reparative Dentin/Tertiary Dentin

51
Q

Nearest to caries, you have to excavate this because it is usually soft and contaminated with bacteria

A

Infected dentin

52
Q

You cannot excavate, resistant

A

Affected dentin

53
Q

Result of aging or mild irritation and causes a change in the composition your primary dentin

A

Sclerotic Dentin

54
Q

peritubular area are wider and
filled with calcified material from the DEJ

A

Sclerotic Dentin

55
Q

Seals your peritubular area so, it blocks bacteria

A

Sclerotic Dentin

56
Q

Refers to the outward or exposed portion of reactive sclerotic dentin

A

Eburnated Dentin

57

Where slow caries have destroyed the overlying tooth structure leaving a darkened cleanable surface

A

Eburnated Dentin

58

45-50% inorganic and 50-55% organic

59
Q

Serves to attach to the root of the tooth to the alveolar bone by means of the periodontal ligament fiber

Compensates for occlusal wear

61
Q

Protects root dentin

62
Q

Repairs resorp part surface, fracture roots

63

Responsible for the continuous production of dentin if your pulp is still ____.

69
Q

Contains a lot of sensory and motor fibers, it is very sensitive to any irritant

Don’t drill without anesthesia

TRUE OR FALSE

73
Q

What are the root canal treatment:

A
  • Removal of all the pulp contents
  • Clean it
  • Irrigate the tooth and replace it with a root canal material before restoration or crown
