Q

Define Globular Dentine

A

Between mantle and circumpulppal, only in the coronal portion of the tooth, the dentineis calcified following formation of the matrix and calcification occurs in small spherical space

25
Define Hyaline layer
Most peripheral layer of initially unmineralised dentine, aids cemenum in binding to the dentin
26
Define Granular layer of Tomes
In the root, just beneath the hyaline layer and cementum
27
Whats the difference between interblobular dentine vs Tomes granular layer?
Seen in crown, and higher sulfur, Tomes seen in root, calcium + phosphorus
28
What is predentine?
The inner most layer of dentin, thicker in young teeth, non-mineralised, secreted by odontoblasts via golgi apparatus, mitachondria
29
What is translucent dentine?
Forms with aging due to tubules occlusion by peritubular dentine, pronounced at root apex
30
Define Sclerotic dentine
Tubular occulsion by stimulus at site, tubules are completely obliterated. It is believed to be protective mechanisim to pulp
31
What are dead tracts?
Odontoblastic processes killed by a stimulus, empty tubules
32
What is the extent of odontoblast process?
Odontoblast dont go fully into the tubules, plays a role in dentine sensitivity
33
What is deep dentine?
Secondary dentine - tubular surface area increase, difficult bonding to deep dentine
34
What are incremental lines?
Lines of Von Ebner - cross striations across dentinal tubules Controur lines of Owen - Follows a pattern, DEJ meet the accompanying striae of Retzius
35
What lines are associated with primary curvatures?
Schreger lines
36
What lines are associated with secondary curvatures?
Contour lines of owen
37
What are the 3 pulps?
Coronal Pulp Radicular Pulp Apical Foramina and Accessory canals
38
What is the coronal pulp?
Occupies crown of the tooth, larger than root pulp, pulp horns extend into cusps of tooth
39
What is the Radicular Pulp?
Extends from cervical regions to apex
40
What is the Apical Foramina & accessory canals?
Apical foramen: opening of root pulp into periodontium | Accessory canals may result from presence of blood vessels obstructing dentin formation
41
What is pulp?
Soft specialised connective tissue loacted in the central portion of the tooth
42
What is the function of the pulp?
Inductive Formative Protective/defence Nutritive
43
Describe Induction in the role of the pulp
In early development interacts with oral epithelium to initiate tooth formation
44
Describe Formative in the role of the pulp
Odontoblasts from dentine
45
Describe the roles of protection in pulp
Formation of reparative dentine, inflammatory response
46
Describe Nutritive role of the pulp
Carries oxygen and nutrition to the tooth
47
What is the composition of the pulp?
Connective tissue: Type 1 collagen fibres (ground substance, macromolecules and fluid Cells: Mesenchymal cells (fibroblasts, macrophages, odontoblasts) Neurons Transient cells Endothelial cells Has no fat cells
48
What is the Odontogenic Zone?
Odontoblast layer Cell free zone Cell rich zone Central pulp
49
Define the odontoblast layer
Outter most layer - Forms a single pseudostratified layer of cells attached to predentine surface
50
Define Cell free zone?
Immediately beneath odontoblast layer
51
Define Cell rich zone
Deep to cell free zone, high concentration of capillaries and exons, fibroblasts and mesenchymal cells
52
Define central pulp
Bulk, and neurvascualar core
53
Name 3 pulp cell types
Odontoblasts, Fibroblasts, Schwann cells, endothelia
54
Define odontoblasts
They line perimeter of pulp from time they begin organizing to form dentin to the time they are no longer producing dentin at a rapid rate
55
Define Fibroblasts
Are the most numerous cells in pulp, protein-producing cell, get smaller with aging
56
Define Schwann cells and endothelial cells
SC form myelin sheath of nerves and associated with all pulp nerves EC lines capillaries, veins and arteries of pulp
57
What is the effect of restorative procedures?
Traumatic cavity prep, more rapid dentinogensis, growth factors incorporated into mineralized dentine matrix are released during carious invasion to induce dentinogenesis
58
What are the dynamics of pulpodentine complex
Exposed fluid-filled tubules allow minute fluid shift across dentine in tactile, thermal, osmotic or evaporative stimuli - vitality test, thermal changes H/C
59
What reaction occur 'inwardly' during cavity prep? (fluid shift)
Frictional head * Osmotic movement of cooling water * Heat generated due to LC
60
What reaction occurs 'outwardly' during cavity prep? (fluid shift)
Evaporation by air cooling or air blow | Applying hypertonic conditioners, primers, bonding agents and varnishes
61
What do fluid shifts create?
Pain in unanesthesized pulps Local pulp inflammation under irritated tubules Increases in tissue pressure Alteration in pulpal blood flow
62
Name disruption of odontoblastic layers
Restorative procedures Deep prep can aspirate odontoblasts Shallow preps distrupt junctional complexes between odontoblasts, by allowing large molecules to penetrate pulp, loss of cell signalling
