Structural Of The Teeth Flashcards
Marks primary calcification of enamel
Incremental lines of retzius
Appositional/incremental growth of enamel
Incremental lines of retzius
Represents lines of retzies as they meet at the surface of enamel
Perikymata (incremental lines of retzius)
More pronounced incremental lines
Neonatal lines
crosses bands of retzius
Transverse striations
Apposition growth of enamel is how many in transverse srtiation?
4um/day
Alternate light and dark bands
Hunter schreir bands
Found in inner 2/3 of the enamel
Hunter schreir bands
Originates from DEJ, lateral spread of caries
Enamels tufts
Cracks on surface of enamel
Enamel lamellae
Pathway for bacteria to penetrate the enalem
Enamel lamellae
Extenion of dentinal tubules that penetrates DEJ
Enamel spindles
May serves as pain receptors
DEJ hypersensitivity
Enamel spindles
Scalloped for attachment
Dentino-enamel junction
Covers dentinal tubules
Peritubular dentin (dentinal matrix)
Main bulk, located between tubules
Intertubular dentin (dentinal matrix)
Extension of odontoblast
Odontoblastic process (dentinal tubules)
Contains dentinal flui
Periodontoblastic space (dentinal tubules)
From plexus of raschkow
Intratubular nerve (dentinal tubules)
Secretoryactivity of dentin
Incremental lines of von ebner
