D E NTINOGENESIS
Dentinogenesis
➢ The formation of dentin is called dentinogenesis
A : CORONAL DENTINOGENESIS
❑ ODONTOBLASTS DIFFERENTIATION
❑ FORMATION OF MANTLE DENTIN
❑ FORMATION OF CIRCUMPULPAL DENTIN
B : RADICULAR DENTINOGENESIS
2 : SECONDARY DENTIN FORMATION
3 : TERTIARY DENTIN FORMATION
➢ Odontoblasts are
differentiated from
the cells of the
dental papilla
➢ These cells begin the process of dentinogenesis
at the cusp tips
ODONTOBLASTS DIFFERENTIATION
➢ Odontoblasts are:
▪ Elongated
▪ Highly polarized with nucleus at proximal end (away from IEE)
▪ All organelles associated with protein synthesis are situated at
distal end .
➢ Increase in size of odontoblasts will eliminate the acellular zone
Globular mineralization of
dentin
Mantle dentin
Dentin apatite
crystals
Calcospherite mineralization is seen occasionally
along the pulp-predentin-forming front
Many genes are implicated in dentinogenesis, the
newer ones being MAP1B for odontoblast
differentiation, and PHEX for dentin mineralization.
Vascular supply during dentinogenesis:
• When mantle dentin formation begins, capillaries found beneath the
newly differentiated odontoblasts.
