What are the two types of dentin laid down before tooth eruption?
What are the two types of dentin laid down before tooth eruption?
Mantle dentin and Circumpulpal dentin
When is root dentin formed and what is required for its induction?
When is root dentin formed and what is required for its induction?
Root dentin is formed at a later stage but before eruption. It requires Hertwig’s Root Sheath to induce differentiation of pulpal cells.
How does 2° dentin differ structurally from 1° dentin?
How does 2° dentin differ structurally from 1° dentin?
2° dentin is structurally different from 1° dentin as it has fewer and more irregular odontoblastic tubules and less mineralization.

Explain the significance of Contour lines of Owen in dentin mineralization.
Explain the significance of Contour lines of Owen in dentin mineralization.
