• Hard calcified tissue that makes up the bulk of the Outer layer
tooth, it is covered by the enamel coronally and by
the cementum radically, it also protects and encloses Product of premature odontoblast
the pulp tissue
o CIRCUMPULPAL DENTIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF DENTIN
Bulk of dentin mass
• HARD CALCIFIED TISSUE
Product of coordinated
o Softer than enamel but harder than odontoblasts
cementum and bone
Consists of beta-fibrils and
• YELLOWISH INTRINSIC COLOR mucopolysaccharide ground
substance
• FIRM, RESILIENT AND DEFORMABLE
• SECONDARY DENTIN
o Prevent fracture of enamel
o Develops after root formation is completed
• RADIOPAQUE
o PULP RECESSION
o Light
Dentin becomes thicker as pulp
o Hard tissue and bone becomes thinner

Where dentinal tubules are formed Product of odontoblast (primary)
by replacement
Between dentinal tubules
o NEONATAL LINE
• DENTINAL TUBULES
Accentuated dark stained line of
enamel and dentin o Regularly arranged canals which extends
from the tooth pulp to the DEJ in the crown
Anatomical structures that marks of the tooth and to the DCJ in the root
due to extreme changes in
environment during development o DICHOTOMOUS BRANCHING
SECONDARY CURVATURES
STUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF DENTIN
