Dentinogenesis The
formation of dentin
Odontoblasts
Mantle dentin
Primary dentin
Secondary dentin
Tertiary dentin
Formation of mantle dentin
• Begin by secreting an organic matrix around the area directly adjacent to the IEE
• The organic matrix contains collagen fibers with large diameters (0.1-0.2 μm in diameter)
• Forming an extension called the odontoblast process.
• The secretion of hydroxyapatite crystals and mineralization of the matrix.
• This area is known as mantle dentin , a layer usually about 20-150 μm thick.
Formation of primary dentin
• Odontoblasts increase in size
• The larger odontoblasts cause collagen to be secreted in smaller amounts,
which results in more tightly arranged mineralization.
• Root dentin is consideed different from dentin found in the crrown of
the toot, because of the different orientation of collagen fibers.
Formation of secondary dentin
• Formed after root formation is finished and occurs at a much slower rate.
• Forms faster along sections closer to the crown of a tooth.
• This development continues throughout life.
Formation of tertiary dentin
• Forms in reaction to stimuli, such as attrition or dental
caries.
• Divided into reactionary or reparative dentin.
• Reactionary dentin is formed by odontoblasts when the
injury does not damage the odontoblast layer.
• Reparative dentin is formed by replacement odontoblasts
when the injury damages a part of odontoblast layer.
