Q

what are the functional links between dentine and pulp?

A

formation of secondary dentine
formation of tertiary dentine
regulation of exchange of material between dentine and pulp

17
Q

why does tertiary dentine form?

A

tooth wear

18
Q

what are the types of tertiary dentine?

A

reactionary

reparative

19
Q

what does reactionary dentine form due to?

A

mild stimulus

20
Q

when is primary dentine formed?

A

during tooth development- so quickly

21
Q

when is secondary and tertiary dentine formed?

A

when tooth development is complete, so pace is slower than primary

22
Q

what does reparative dentine form in response to?

A

intense stimulus that destroys primary odontoblasts

23
Q

what is reactionary dentine formed by?

A

primary odontoblasts

24
Q

what is reparative dentine formed by?

A

secondary odontoblasts

25
Q

how does aggression to the pulp happen?

A

tooth wear
