The Anatomy Of The Vital Healthy Tooth; “Dentin Provides The Tooth Its Beautiful Internal Natural Color and Lifelong Protection”.

The Dentin And The Anatomy Of The Vital 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 tissue of the tooth containing the nerve and blood supply. Dentin is very vascular and cellular, providing the nutrients to tooth from the jaw through its roots.  Dentin, is only 70% mineral, and is much less mineralized than enamel.  

 

As we age, the dentin continues to form internally in the pulp chamber of the tooth this continuous process of forming dentin, in the vital tooth, 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 bio-esthetic beauty and  internal color, while providing the tooth its’ constant protection against harmful stimuli.  The natural cosmetic variations of the teeth and many or the individual internal characteristics, warm natural tooth colors is related to the dentinal color , its contribution and the variations in the  color and thicknesses of enamel layer above.
