Peritubular dentin
INTERTUBULAR DENTIN
Predentin
(3-4 um) in diameter near the pulp > (1um) at their outer ends
Peritubular dentin
has more mineral content and less collagen fibres and more of density.
INTERTUBULAR DENTIN
Predentin
Unmineralized matrix
undergo mineralization
- Predentin dentin - new layer of predentin forms circum-pulpally
- predentin
Processes of odontoblasts
The bodies of the odontoblasts are arranged in a layer on the pulpal surface of the dentin, and only their cytoplasmic processes are included in the tubules in the mineralized matrix.
Each cell gives rise to one process, which traverses the predentin & calcified dentin within one tubule. Terminates in a branching network at the junction with enamel or cementum.
mantle dentin
Primary dentin
circumpulpal dentin
Types of dentin
Secondary dentin Tertiary dentin
Primary dentin
The dentin formed from initial phase up to the completion of the root
mantle dentin
circumpulpal dentin
Underlying the dentinoenamel junction The outer part of the primary dentin
A narrow band of dentin bordering the pulp and representing the dentin formed after root completion.
Secondary dentin
Contains fewer tubules than primary dentin. There is usually a bend in the tubules where primary and secondary dentin interface.
Tertiary dentin
reflect the daily rhythmic, recurrent deposition of dentin matrix as well as periods of rest between daily increments
Contour lines of owen are accentuated because these are more hypocalcified bands
neonatal line
The dentin matrix formed prior to birth is usually of better quality than that formed after birth.
Interglobular dentin
Mineralization of dentin begin in small globular That fail to fuse into a homogenous mass Areas of hypomineralized dentin between globulars
Granular layer of Tomes When root dentin is viewed under transmitted light in ground sections a thin granular layer is visible in dentin adjacent to cementodentinal junction
Slightly increases in amount from the cementoenamel junction to the root apex.
Caused by the union and looping of the terminal portion of the dentinal tubules
Dentinocemental junction
innervation of dentin
1. Direct neural stimulation: in which stimuli directly effect the nerve endings in the tubules.
2. Hydrodynamic theory: in which stimuli cause an inward or outward movement of fluid in the tubule, which in turn produces movement of the odontoblast and its processes.
3. Transduction theory: in which the membrane of the odontoblast process conducts an impulse to the nerve endings in the predentin, odontoblast zone, and pulp
