| 1. | Dentin rates approximately 3 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
|
| 2. | Thus, interglobular dentin is slightly less mineralized than globular dentin.
|
| 3. | Thus, interglobular dentin is slightly less mineralized than globular dentin.
|
| 4. | The outer layer closest to enamel is known as mantle dentin.
|
| 5. | Thus, dentin formation proceeds toward the inside of the tooth.
|
| 6. | The dentin is what makes up most of the tooth.
|
| 7. | Unlike dentin and bone, enamel does not contain collagen.
|
| 8. | Dentin is the substance between enamel or cementum and the pulp chamber.
|
| 9. | The cementum is light yellow and slightly lighter in color than dentin.
|
| 10. | After these protective responses, the dentin is considered sclerotic.
