Dentinogenesis is a crucial process in tooth development starting at the cusp tips as odontoblasts differentiate and begin collagen production. Factors like TGF, IGF, and BMP play key roles in organizing odontoblast cytoskeleton assembly. Odontoblasts take up calcium, maintain high concentrations, a

Enamel, the hardest calcified tissue in the human body, forms a protective covering over the teeth, adapting them for mastication. Its thickness varies across different surfaces of the teeth, with maximum thickness found on cusps. The structure of enamel makes it brittle, especially when it loses su

The formation of Hertwig's Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS) is crucial in determining the shape, length, and number of roots in teeth. It initiates the formation of radicular dentin, marking the beginning of root development after enamel and dentin formation. HERS consists of outer and inner enamel epi

Root formation plays a crucial role in the development of teeth, starting after enamel and dentin formation at the cementoenamel junction. Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) molds the shape of roots, initiating radicular dentin formation. The cervical loop forms an epithelial diaphragm, narrowi

Dentin is a vital tissue in teeth that provides bulk and shape, resembling bone but with distinct differences. It is yellowish, slightly elastic, and consists of inorganic hydroxyapatite and organic materials. Tubules within dentin contain odontoblast processes and follow a curved course throughout

Dentin is a vital component of teeth, featuring various structural units such as dentinal tubules. This calcified tissue determines tooth shape, hardness, and radiolucency. It plays a significant role in supporting enamel, cementum, and pulp, with dentinal tubules housing odontoblast processes. Dent
