The Dentin, Its Esthetic Characteristics And The Anatomy Of The Tooth

Dentin is the supporting foundation material of the tooth. It provides support to the outer enamel shell. Unlike enamel, your body is able to continue to form dentin throughout your lifetime from the cells within the internal portion of the tooth. The purpose of dentin is to provide the structural foundation to the harder, outer enamel.

Dentin provides a protective layer to the soft internal pulpal tissues. The pulpal tissue of the tooth containing the nerve and blood supply is very vascular and cellular, providing the nutrients to each tooth from the jaw through its roots.

  Dentin, is only 70% mineral, and is much less mineralized than enamel. Unlike dental enamel, dentin consists of collagen fibers mixed with the hydroxlylapitite. The significantly lower concentration of this mineral and presence of these fibers contribute measurably to its more flexible nature, similar to that of bone. However lower mineral content t contributes to dentin being' substantially lower in its' hardness than enamel.

  As we age, dentin continues to form internally in the pulp chamber of the tooth. This provides added protection to the tooth and pulp tissues as the harder enamel is lost from wear caused by abrasion, grinding, clenching, decay, or chemical erosion. The dentin provides the tooth its natural, warm bioesthetic beauty and internal color, while providing the tooth its constant protection against harmful stimuli.

Tooth Anatomy, Dental Enamel, Non-Regerating & Non-Reparative It's Meant To Last a Lifetime

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:25:31 +0100

The Dental Enamel And The Anatomy Of The Tooth

  The enamel portion of the tooth is an extremely hard, highly mineralized, non-cellular material that gives the tooth its cosmetic properties and the hard, wear-resistant surface. The enamel and its’ cosmetic characteristics are formed at the time the tooth develops within the jaw. Enamel, the hardest substance in our body, is 96% mineral, and is non-regenerative and non-reparative.

  Dental enamel is highly concentrated with Hydroxylapapitie mineral, a calcium phosphate crystallin, providing its' hardness. The combination of high concentration of the hydroxlapatite and lack of collagen fibers unfortunately also makes enamel very brittle. Both bone and Dentin contain the collagen fibers giving bone and dentin much greater flexibility.

  These characteristics of enamel are significant in that heavy wear and grinding, and any decay, is highly damaging to the tooth strength and its cosmetics. Although a little enamel loss is tolerable, significant loss will require dental restoration to protect the remaining tooth structure and protect it from the oral environment.  The mineralized nature of enamel gives the tooth its unparalleld hardness in the body and its beautiful natural biosethetic qualities seldom matched in nature.
