INTRODUCTION
Hard dense bony tissue
forming the bulk of a tooth,
beneath the enamel.
TYPES:
 PRIMARY DENTIN
 SECONDARY DENTIN
 TERTIARY DENTIN
TERTIARY
DENTIN
Dentin which is formed in
response to external
stimuli.
Very fast.
TYPES:
 REACTIONARY OR REGENERATIVE
DENTIN
 REPARATIVE OR RESPONSE DENTIN
i) REACTIONARY
DENTIN
o When Stimulus
come and
odontoblast
process survive.
o Very regular
dentin.
o It is secreted by
original
odontoblast cells.
ii)REPARATIVE
DENTIN
oWhen stimulus cause
degeneration of
odontoblast process.
oTwisted and irregular
dentinal tubule.
oDepends on duration and
intensity of stimuli.
oIt is formed by newly
differentiated odontoblast
like cells.
SCLEROTIC
DENTIN
 Dentinal tubule get
blocked due to calcium
salt deposition.
 Formed to protect pulp.
 Permeability decrease .
 Black light reflected.
 White light transmission.
 Also seen as an age
changes.
