Coronal cementum - where the enamel overlaps the cement. Abutment - It is also known as vis a vis relation, where the cement and enamel meet at the butt joint, occurring in 30% of sections, and the least common, occurring in 10% of sections. Gap between cementum and enamel exposing the dentin. [5]
The dentinoenamel junction or dentin-enamel junction (DEJ) [1] is the boundary between the enamel and the underlying dentin that form the solid architecture of a tooth. It is also known as the amelo - dentinal junction, [ 2 ] or ADJ.
Cross-section of a tooth. B is dentin. Dentin (/ ˈ d ɛ n t ɪ n / DEN-tin) (American English) or dentine (/ ˈ d ɛ n ˌ t iː n / DEN-teen or / ˌ d ɛ n ˈ t iː n / DEN-TEEN) (British English) (Latin: substantia eburnea) is a calcified tissue of the body and, along with enamel, cementum, and pulp, is one of the four major components of teeth.
Dentin, less mineralized and less brittle, 3–4 in hardness, compensates for enamel and is necessary as a support. [7] On radiographs, the differences in the mineralization of different portions of the tooth and surrounding periodontium can be noted; enamel appears lighter than dentin or pulp since it is denser than both and more radiopaque. [8]
Dentin has microscopic channels, called dentinal tubules, which radiate outward through the dentin from the pulp cavity to the exterior cementum or enamel border. [17] The diameter of these tubules range from 2.5 μm near the pulp, to 1.2 μm in the midportion, and 900 nm near the dentino-enamel junction. [ 18 ]
Tooth development begins at week 6 in utero, in the oral epithelium. The process is divided into three stages: Initiation; Morphogenesis and; Histogenesis [2]; At the end of week 7 i.u., localised proliferations of cells in the dental laminae form round and oval swellings known as tooth buds, which will eventually develop into mesenchymal cells and surround the enamel organ.
Histologic slide of tooth. Note the tubular appearance of dentin. A: enamel B: dentin. The adjacent layer of cells in the dental papilla suddenly increases in size and differentiates into odontoblasts, which are the cells that form dentin. [24] Researchers believe that the odontoblasts would not form if it were not for the changes occurring in ...
The dentinoenamel junction is the surface at which the enamel and the dentin of the crown of a tooth are joined. [7] The existing ectomesenchyme around the outside of the cap of the enamel organ then condenses into the dental sac. A basement membrane separate the enamel organ and the dental sac.
