W8 Dentine Flashcards
What are the physical properties of dentine?
Pale yellow. Harder than bone and cementum but softer than enamel. Higher degree of tensile and flexural strength than enamel
What are the chemical properites by volume of dentine?
By volume Inorganic 50%
Organic 30%
Water 20%
Is enamel Vascular or Avascular?
Avascular
What are the chemical properties of dentin?
Inorganic: hydroxyapatite
Organic: collagen fibres, ground sustance, collaen I, III, IV
What are the chemical properties of organic dentine?
Proteins, dentine phosphoproeins, proteoglycans, lipids
What are dentine tubules?
Run from pulpal surface to DEJ. Segmoid primary curvatures (S shape). Peritubular and intertubular dentine. Secondary curvatures form called contour lines of Owen when they conicide in ajacent tubules.
Where and what types of dentin curvatures can be found?
Granular layer of Tomes found in root, when dentine tubules are in the crown they are called Contour lines of Oen
What is Peritubular Dentine?
The zone of dentine forming the wall of dentine tubules, has 9-15 % higher mineral content than intertubular dentine, smaller crystals than intra.
What are the Odontoblast & processes?
Elongates as the odontoblast moves toward pulp, stimulates differentiation of ameloblasts
What is primary dentine?
Formed prior to eruption, depositied at DEJ and contain incremental lines. Out layer is mantle dentine. Circumpulpal dentine, globular dentine, peritubular and intertuular form in this zone
What classification of dentine?
primary, secondary,
teritary
What is Secondary Dentine?
Formed after the completion of root formation, same as circumpulpal. Scattered more slowly than primary dentine.
What is tertiary dentine?
Forms if dentine is subjected to trauma, irritation, caries into dentine, traumatic cavity prep
What is reactionary dentine?
Dentine foriming in response to an insult existing cells recover.
What is reparative dentine?
Dentine forming in response to an insult, original odontoblasts destroyed and produced calcifed tissue
What are the layers of dentine in the crown?
Mantle, Interglobular, circumpulpal
