Dental Anatomy — 5 Questions

1
Dental Anatomy

Which statement about intertubular dentin is true?
1). More mineralized than peritubular
2). Forms bulk between tubules, contains Type I collagen network, less mineralized than peritubular, contains proteoglycans
3). No collagen
4). Forms inside tubule

📝 Explanation:

Intertubular dentin makes up the main body between tubules. It contains about 30% organic matrix (mostly collagen I) and apatite. It is less mineralized than peritubular dentin, which is hypermineralized and lacks collagen.

Dental Anatomy

Width of predentin increases in:
1). Vitamin D deficiency / rickets and hypophosphatasia
2). Hypercalcemia
3). Fluorosis
4). Normal aging

📝 Explanation:

In mineralization defects such as vitamin D deficiency, predentin is not converted to dentin efficiently, leading to a wide predentin zone.

3
Dental Anatomy

Which factor does NOT increase dentin permeability?
1). Acid etching
2). Removal of smear layer
3). Sclerotic dentin formation
4). Cutting with bur without water

📝 Explanation:

Sclerosis occludes tubules and decreases permeability. Acid etching and removal of the smear layer increase permeability.

4
Dental Anatomy

The DEJ scalloping is due to:
1). Enamel spindles
2). Interlocking of enamel and dentin for better adhesion - convexities towards dentin
3). Tomes granular layer
4). Predentin

📝 Explanation:

Scalloping of the DEJ increases the surface area for bonding and resists shear forces. Enamel pits interlock with dentin.

5
Dental Anatomy

What is osteodentin?
1). Dentin containing cell inclusions, bone-like, seen in reparative dentin
2). Normal circumpulpal dentin
3). Mantle dentin
4). Enamel

📝 Explanation:

Reparative dentin often entraps odontoblast-like cells in lacunae similar to osteocytes. This bone-like, atubular dentin is called osteodentin.
