Structure and Functions of the Dentin-Pulp Complex
Husain KeylaniR1 endo board
Dentin-pulp complex ?
Embryologically, histologically and functionally; dentin and pulp should be considered the same. This entity is exemplified by the classic functions of the pulp.
The transition to pulp occurs with the initiation of dentin formation.
The pulp
The pulp incompressible, the total volume within the pulp chamber cannot be greatly increased.
Thus Inflammatory reaction results in an increase in pulp tissue pressure instead of volume.
(Heyeraas et al,1992)
DevelopmentThe Primary oral
cavity or stomodeum (lined with ectoderm )is a depression between the brain and the pericardium in an embryo,
It is separated from the upper end of the foregut by (bucco-pharyngeal membrane ,27 days)
stomodeumbucco-pharyngeal membrane
Mid-brain
pericardium
Development Most of the C.T. cells underlying the oral ectoderm are
neural crest cells or ectomesenchyme in origin
Development Neural crest travel down the sides of the head into the
maxilla and mandible to form the tooth germ
DevelopmentDuring sixth week ,tooth formation begin as
localized proliferation of ectoderm to form two horseshoe-shaped structures called primary epithelial band or primary dental laminae which split into
vestibular & dental lamina Oral vestibule Dental organ

Stage of development
Formation of the teeth is a continuous process has been divided in to three stages:
(1bud stage
)2 Cap stage
)3 bell stage
Cont.
1-The bud stage: the initial stage ,
dental lamina proliferate
to the adjacent ectomesenchyme
Cont.
2- Cap stage : the dental lamina cont. proliferate- aconcavity.
The outer cellscuboidal and constitute the
outer enamel epithelium . The inner cells elongated and represented
the inner enamel epithelium .
Between them is network
of cells termed (the stellate reticulum)
Cont.
3-bell stage (18):The last period of growth
is also known as histodifferentiation
In the cervical loop where the outer and the inner enamel epithelia are joined continue to proliferate.
The tooth development enters the bell stage
During (BV) become established in the dental papilla
A tooth germ consists of 3 parts:
form Origin tooth germ
enamel ectoderm A-Enamel organ
dentin and pulp. ectomesenchyme B- Dental papilla
cementum, PDL, and alveolar bone.
ectomesenchyme C-dental sac =tooth follicle
Cell differentiation mechanisms
Embryonic development of any tissue is prompted by interaction with an adjacent tissue.
Complex epithelial and mesenchymal interactions occur which direct the ameloblasts and odontoblasts diff. by changes in gene expression.
Cont.Epithelial- ectomesenchymal inductive
interaction during normal odontogenesis lead to :
1 -Cytodifferentiation of dentin and enamel forming
cells. 2-dental hard tissue formation
Mechanisms of interaction
A: cell-to-cell interaction 1-Direct cell-to-cell contact. 2-The transmission of
molecules synthesized and secreted by one cell and then captured by surface receptors of another cells.
CAMs(cell adhesion molecule )mediate morphogenesis. through contrall cell proliferation
Cell contian membrane protein called (integrin)receptor for CAMs.

B:Cell-to-ECM interaction.Carry by substrate adhesion molecule
(SAMs) the best study of the ECM are fibronectins.
G.factors are polypeptides produced by cells that initiate proliferation, migration and diff. of a variety of cells.
Cont… Dental basement membrane: It exists between IDE(inner dental epithelium
and the underneath dental mesenchyme It consist of (thin basal lamina & layer of ECM)
Cont… Dental basement membrane: It exists between IDE(inner dental epithelium
and the underneath dental mesenchyme It consist of (thin basal lamina & layer of ECM)
BL is compsed of type IV collagen (as areceptors) which
has binding sites for other BM consituents. (like laminin ,fibrinoctin ,proteoglycan) Laminin is the CAM in the basement membrane
Cont…
Odontoblast cell surface proteoglycans act as receptors for matrix molecules .signals from matrix components influence migration and diff. of odontoblasts.
Differentiation of Odontoblasts
occurs during the bell stage.
Preameloblasts diff. at a faster rate than odontoblasts, but dentin matrix is formed before enamel matrix.
There is still mitotic activity among the relatively immature cells of the inner enamel epithelium., mitotic activity ceases and the cells elongate.
Cont.Differentiation of Odontoblasts
With the onset of differentiation a single layer of cell(preodontoblasts) align themselves along the basement membrane separating the inner enamel epithelium from the dental papilla.

Cont.Differentiation of Odontoblasts
These cells stop dividing and elongate into short columnar cells with basally situated nuclei
Several cytoplasmic projections from each of these cells extend toward the basal lamina.
Cont.Differentiation of Odontoblasts
As the odontoblasts continue to differentiate, they become progressively more elongated
And cytoplasmic processes from these cells extend through the BM toward the basal lamina, and more and more collagen fibrils appear within the ECM .
Cont.Differentiation of Odontoblasts
More odontoblastic diff elongation with characteristic of protein-secreting cells more collagen fibrils appear in the ECM and more defined large odontoblastic process toward BL.
Cont.Differentiation of Odontoblasts
The odontoblasts reach full maturity and become tall columnar cells
Production of the initial dentin matrix involves the formation, organization, and maturation of collagen fibrils and proteoglycans.
As more collagen fibrils accumulate subjacent to the basal lamina,(The lamina becomes discontinuous and eventually disappears. )
Cont.Differentiation of Odontoblasts
The odontoblasts reach full maturity and become tall columnar cells
Production of the initial dentin matrix involves the formation, organization, and maturation of collagen fibrils and proteoglycans.
As more collagen fibrils accumulate subjacent to the basal lamina,(The lamina becomes discontinuous and eventually disappears. )
Some of Odon. processes extend toward the ameloblasts
Some of these become interposed between the processes of ameloblasts, resulting in the formation of enamel spindles
Cont.Differentiation of Odontoblasts
At the onset of dentinogenesis the dental papilla becomes the dental pulp
As predentin matrix is formed, the odontoblasts commence to move toward the central pulp, depositing matrix.
Within this matrix a process from each odontoblast becomes accentuated and remains to form the primary odontoblast process.
It is around these processes that the dentinal tubules are formed.
Root
Develop after completion of enamel formation.
Proliferateion (inner and outer enamel epithelia) ,
and form a structure known as the Hertwig epithelial root sheath (HERS)
(HERS )determine the size and shape of root of
the tooth.
Root
The first layer of the dentin matrix mineralizes gap appear in the root sheath allowing mesenchymal cells from the dental sac to move into contact with the newly formed dentine .
These cells then differntiation into cementoblast and deposit cementum matrix on the root dentine.

Epithelial Rests of Malassez
Persistant of epithelial cells of the root sheath in the PDL after tooth development.
Some of them retain & under go division
Later produce periapical cyst.
(Trowbridge,1967)
Accessory CanalsDuring root formation:
a break develops in the continuity of the sheath , producing a small gap ,dentinogenesis does not take place opposite the defect.
The result is small “accessory “ canal between the dental sac and the pulp.
If periodontal tissue lose their integrity , m/o go pulp

Cont.Dentinal tubules
S shape DEJ- pulp. b/c (crowding of
odontoblasts) It converge ? the surface
of the pulp chamber has a much smaller area than the surface of dentin along the DEJ.
This results in a progressive increase in dentin permeability
Coronal dentin
Cont.Dentinal tubules
Near the DEJ the dentinal tubules ramify into one or more terminal branches.
Peritubular and intertubular dentin
Peritubular Dentin: is dentin lining the tubule , whereas that between the tubules is known as intertubular dentin
minir+hard< collagn
Dentinal Sclerosis
Partial or complete obturation of dentinal tubules. as result of aging or develop in response to stimuli such as attrition or caries
It helps the pulp from irritation
Cont.Dentinal Sclerosis It is either: Physiologic: acceleration of peritubular
dentin formation in the apical third of the root.
Pathologic: Dentinal tubules are blocked by hydroxyapatite and whitlockite crystals )carious dentin, attrited dentin(
Cont.Dentinal Sclerosis
If dentin is damaged the odontoblastic processes die leaving empty dentinal tubules which form areas of dead tracts (A).
Dead tracts become filled with mineral and are called blind tracts (B).
The dentin of blind tracts is known as sclerotic dentin.
Interglobular Dentin Refer to organic
matrix that remains unmineralized. This occurs most often
in the circumpulpal dentin just below the mantle dentin.
Vit D-resistant rickets, hypophosphatasia
Inter-globuler dentin
Dentinal Fluid
volume: 1% of superficial dentin , about 22% of
the total of deep dentin.
Cont.Dentinal FluidOutward movement of fluid is blocked
peripherally by enamel or cementum.In case of d.tubules exposureoutward
movements to the exposed area is in the form of tiny droplets.
(Itthagarum,2000)
Pressure gradient exists between pulp (14 cm H2O =10.3 mm Hg) and O. cavity that
accounts for the slow outward flow of fluid.
Cont.Dentinal Fluid
Dehydrating ?the dentin can accelerate outward Rapid flow stimulates pulpal nociceptors that innervate DT =dentin sensitivity= dentinal permeability (the hydrodynamic mechanism of dentin sensitivity)

Dentin permeability
Dentinal tubules are the major channels for fluid diffusion across dentin.
Fluid permeation is proportion to tubule diameter and number
The permeation of the radicular dentin <coronal dentin .
Fogel HM et al,1988
deep cavity vs shallow
Cont.Dentin permeability
The functional or physiologic diameter of the tubules is only about 5% to 10% of the anatomic diameter.
bc(od process+collagen fiber )
(Michelich et al,1978)
It is small enough to remove bacteria from dentinal fluid permitting sterile fluid to enter the pulp chamber
(Michelich et al,1980)
Cont.Dentin permeability The smear layer is capable of physically preventing
bacteria from penetrating dentin.
(Michelich et al,1980)
In nonvital teeth bacterial invasion of dentinal
tubules occurred more rapidly. ( Due to no permeability) (Nagaoka et al,1995)
But in vital pulps. increa .permeab +antibodies in dentinal fluid. (Hahn et al,1997)
Dentin sclerosis beneath a carious lesion reduce the permeation by obstruction the tubules
(Pashley,1990);(Tagami et al,1992)
Cont.Dentin permeability
The cutting during cavity preparation or
root canal theory
smear layer
by acid etching or EDTA
increases the permeability of the
dentin
incidence of pulpal inflammation may be
increased
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ROOT DENTIN
Endodontically treated teeth showed only a 14% reduction in dentin toughness compared with vital dentin (Carter et al,1983)
Endodontic therapy was shown not to change the
Vickers hardness of human root dentin. (Lewinstein et al,1981)
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ROOT DENTIN
Much of the increased incidence of tooth fractures of endodontically treated teeth can be attributed to:
1 -The loss of tooth structure access opening
(Howe et al,1990)
2-Physical weakening of roots by post spaces. (Isidor et al,1996)
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ROOT DENTIN
Age,dehydration and fatigue crack growth in dentin: -old pts has a much shorter fatigue life than dentin from young teeth -it increase incidence of root fractures of RCT actually reflect reduction in the fracture toughness
of old dentin. (Arola D,2004)
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ROOT DENTIN
Other factorsCollagenolytic activity and gelatinolytic activity
have measured in mineralized dentin powder .
(Pashley et al,2004).
These enzymes may slowly attack the
collagenous matrix of dentin, thereby weakening it over many decades.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ROOT DENTIN
Other factors
Mineralized dentin surrounding post spaces that had been under function for more than 10 years , the functional stresses may cause microcracking of dentin
( Ferrari M et al,2004)
