  2. Enamel tufts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_tufts

    Enamel tufts do not normally lead to enamel failure, due to these defects stabilizing potential fractures. The processes involved include the creation of stress shielding by increasing the compliance of enamel next to the dentin. [8] Decussation is another factor by which cracks form wavy stepwise extensions that arrest their further development.

  4. Enamel spindles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_spindles

    Enamel spindles are often confused with two other entities: enamel lamellae and enamel tufts. Lamellae are linear enamel defects that extend from the surface of the enamel towards the DEJ, or vice versa. Enamel tufts are "small, branching defects that are found only at the DEJ, protruding into the enamel towards the enamel surface.

  5. Enamel-dentine fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel-dentine_fracture

    Enamel-dentin fracture A fracture is confined to enamel and dentin with loss of tooth structure, but exposing the pulp; Not tender upon percussion test; If tenderness is observed, evaluate the tooth for possible luxation or root fracture injury; Normal mobility; Sensibility pulp test is usually positive; Enamel-dentin loss is visible

  6. Dentin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentin

    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.

  7. Dentinoenamel junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentinoenamel_junction

    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.

  8. Dental bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_bonding

    Adhesive dentistry is a branch of dentistry which deals with adhesion or bonding to the natural substance of teeth, enamel and dentin.It studies the nature and strength of adhesion to dental hard tissues, properties of adhesive materials, causes and mechanisms of failure of the bonds, clinical techniques for bonding and newer applications for bonding such as bonding to the soft tissue. [1]

  9. Enamel fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_fracture

    In cases of a simple enamel fracture, the recommended approach is to reattach the broken tooth fragment, if it is possible. [4] Following reattachment, smoothing of the edges is undertaken. [ 4 ] [ 1 ] Depending on the extent of the fractured portion, a choice is made between a glass ionomer or permanent restoration, such as composite resin ...
