Introduction and Chemical 
composition 
• Dentin is a hard bone-like tissue that is present in the crown as well as in the root of 
teeth. 
• In the crown, dentin is covered by enamel and in the root it is covered by cementum 
• Unlike enamel, dentin is a vital tissue containing the cell processes of odontoblasts and 
neuron 
• Mature dentin has 20% organic, 70% inorganic and 10% water by weight . 
5
• The organic matrix of dentin is collagenous 
• It provides resiliency to the crown which is necessary to withstand the forces of 
mastication 
• The principle inorganic component of dentin is hydroxyapatite crystals 
• The high mineral content of dentin makes it harder than bone and cementum but 
softer than enamel 
• The knoop hardness for dentin is approximately 68 6
7
Dentinogenesis 
• The formation of dentin is called dentinogenesis, which starts before amelogenesis 
• Dentin is formed by odontoblast cells 
• Dentinogenesis takes place in two phases: 
1. Organic Matrix Formation 
2. Mineralization 
8
Organic Matrix Formation 
• Odontoblasts then secrete matrix protein at the apical end of the cell and 
along its process 
• The secreted matrix is collagenous and not mineralized hence it is called 
predentin 
• As the matrix is being secreted the odontoblasts move towards the centre of 
the future pulp 
• The matrix that forms around the elongated cell process eventually 
9 
mineralizes and the odontoblastic process will lie within a dentinal tubule
10
11
Contd… 
• As each day passes predentin is formed along the pulpal boundary, the 
adjacent predentin that was formed during the previous day mineralizes and 
becomes dentin 
• During the period of crown development approximately 4μm of dentin is laid 
down in every 24 hours 
• Incremental deposition and mineralization of dentine begins below the 
cusps, at the tips of the pulp horns at the DEJ 
• Dentinogenesis continues life long but slows down(1μm) , after the tooth is 
12 
completely erupted
13
Mineralization 
• Early hydroxy apatite crystals deposition in form of fine plates on surface 
of collagen fibrils and ground substance 
• At first sites of calcification of dentine , crystal deposition appears to take 
place radially from common centre in a so called spherulite form 
• Factors controlling odontobalstic secretion and mineralization are not 
known 
14
15
• Key protiens secreted by odontoblasts that are involved in 
Dentinogenesis are; 
• Dentine phosphoprotien(DPP): binds to calcium and 
transports it to mineralization front 
• Osteonectin: inhibits growth of apatite crystal but promotes its 
binding to collagen matrix 
• Osteopontin: promotes mineralization 
• Gla-protein(gamma carboxy glutamic acid): act as 
nucleators to attract and concentrate calcium. 
16
Cont’d… 
• Main genes involved in dentinogenesis are 
1. MAP1B : For odontoblastic differentiation 
2. PHEX: For dentin mineralization 
17
18
• General mineralization is slow 
• Peritubular region mineralizes at early stage 
• Ultimate crystal size is 3nm in thickness and 100 nm in 
length 
• Dentin-sialoprotien , in mineralizing dentin, affects the 
rate of mineral deposition

Structure of Dentin 
• Main structure appreciated in an undermicroscope dentin are; 
1. Structural lines 
2. Dentinal tubules 
3. Peritubular dentine 
4. Intertubular dentine 
5. Interglobular dentine 
6. Tomes granular layer 21
1.Structural lines 
• Formed due to the rhythmic alternating activity and rest period 
of dentin formation 
• The organic matrix of dentine is deposited incrementally at A 
daily rate of 4μm 
• Incremental lines run perpendicular to the dentinal tubules 
22
23
3 types of structural lines are seen; 
1. Incremental or imbrications' lines of von ebner 
2. Contour lines of owen 
3. Neonatal line 
24
Incremental or imbrications' lines of von ebner 
INCREMENTAL LINES IN PERITUBULAR DENTIN OF THE 
TOOTH THAT CORRESPOND TO DAILY RATE OF 
DENTIN FORMATION 
25
Contour lines of owen 
• Representing normal physiological 
alterations in the pattern of 
mineralization 
26
Neonatal lines 
• Representing an exaggerated contour 
line of owen. 
• Neonatal lines are seen in all primary 
teeth 
and the first permanent molars 
27
Dentinal tubules 
• Canal like branched structures extending from pulpal end 
to the dentino-enamel junction 
• Shallow s-shaped curvature (longitudionally) = PRIMARY 
CURVATURE 
• Undulations and wavy course along its length = 
SECONDARY CURVATURE 
• Lateral branches (1-2 microns) containing odontoblast 
processes. 
• Tubular population ranges from 15000/mm²(at DEJ) and 
30000-75000/mm²(at pulpal region) 
• Contains: odontoblasts processes, non myelinted nerve 
fibres 
and dental lymph 
28
29
Peritubular dentine 
• Also called INTRA TUBULAR DENTINE 
• Hypermineralized dentin(40% more) surrounding the 
dentinal tubules 
• Formation continues throughout life at very slow rate 
which narrows the lumen of dentinal tubules leading 
to obliteration and results into formation of sclerotic 
dentine 
30
Intertubular dentine 
• Dentin present between adjacent dentinal tubules 
• Less mineralized 
• Formed by the cell bodies of odontoblasts 
• Major organic component is collagen arranged in 
bundles perpendicular to D.Tubules 
31
Interglobular dentine 
• Seen when mineralization of dentin begins in 
small globular areas that fail to coalesce into a 
homogenous mass. 
• It’s a mineralization defect 
• Generally star shaped with curved outlines of 
globular masses 
32
CONT’D… 
• During section preparation organic 
matrix in interglobular proteins is lost 
and these areas get filled with air, 
appearing 
• Dark (under transmitted light) and 
• Bright(under reflected light) 
33
Granular dentine 
• Also called as Tome’s Granular 
Layer 
• In longitudional section, 
peripheral layer of radicular 
dentin adjacent to cementum 
appears granular 
• Exact nature is not known 
34
CONT’D… 
• Recent review shows that these granules 
represent true spaces created by extensive 
looping and coalescing terminal portions of 
dentinal tubules 
Appearing; 
• Dark (under transmitted light) and 
• Bright(under reflected light) 
35
Predentin 
• Nonmineralized dentine 
• Present on pulpal surface 
• Comparable to osteoid of bone 
• 2-6 micron thick (maybe upto 20 microns) 
• Mineralizing front present throughout the life 
• Exists due to the mineralization lag 
• Act as covering of mineralized dentin and 
prevent resorbption

Types of 
dentin 
On basis of 
Time of Formation 
1. Primary Dentine 
2. Secondary 
Dentine 
3. Tertiary Dentine 
On Basis of 
Relation to Dentinal 
tubules 
1. Peritubular 
Dentine 
2. Intratubular 
Dentine 
3. Intertubular 
Dentin 
Other 
types 
1.Predentin 
2. Interglobular 
Dentine 38
1. Primary Dentin 
• Physiological dentin formed till root formation completion 
• Its of two types; 
A. Mantle dentin 
B. Circumpulpal dentin 
39
A. Mantle dentine 
• First formed dentin 
• 20 microns in thickness 
• Derived from dental papilla and lacks 
phosphophoryn 
• Extends from dej upto zone of interglobular 
dentin 
• Contains large diameter collagen fibre 40
B. Circumpulpal dentin 
• Forms remaining part of primary dentine 
• Matrix with smaller diameter collagen fibres 
•Secreted by odontoblasts and contains phosphophoryn 
• More mineralized than mantle dentin 
41
42
2. Secondary dentin 
• Physiological dentine formed after root completion 
• Formed throught out life 
• Continous formation reduces the size of pulp chamber 
43
3. Tertiary dentin 
• Also referred to as IRREGULAR SECONDARY DENTINE 
• Tertiary dentin can be reactionary or reparative 
• Reactionary dentin is that type of tertiary dentin that is 
deposited by the pre-existing odontoblasts 
• Reparative dentin is deposited by newly differentiated 
odontoblasts

Innervation of dentin 
• Innervation throught intratubular nerves 
• Nerves accompany 30-70% odontoblastic process in close association 
with them 
47
CONT’D… 
• It is believed most of these are terminal processes of the myelinated 
nerve fibres of the dental pulp 
• Primary afferent somatosensory nerves of the dentine and pulp project to 
the descending trigeminal nuclear complex 
48
49
3 Theories of dentine sensitivity 
1. Direct nerve stimulation 
2. Transduction theory 
3. Hydrodynamic theory 
50
1. Direct nerve stimulation 
• Nerves present in the dentinal tubules are reponsible 
Failure: 
• Extreme sensitivity 
• Marked sensitivity in pehripehral dentine 
• Sensitivity in newly erupted teeth 51
52
2. Transduction theory 
• Odontoblast act as receptor cells transmitting the impulse to 
pulpal nerves 
• Odontoblast origin from neural crest cells 
Failure: 
Experimental studies shows membrane potential of 
odontoblast was too low to permit conduction 
53
3. Hydro-dynamics theory 
• Nerves located in peripheral portion of pulp react to local 
changes are brought about by mechanical factors 
• When dentin is exposed , fluid( dental lymph) is lost 
• Hydrostatic equilibrium is disturbed in peripheral pulpal 
environment 
• Pressue changes stimulate nerves and initiate pain 
• Explains why local anesthetics doesnot reduce sentivity in 
dentin
