Examples of dentin in the following topics:
-
- As the enamel and dentin are destroyed, the cavity becomes more noticeable .
- Dentin and cementum are more susceptible to caries than enamel because they have lower mineral content.
- Bacteria can penetrate the enamel to reach dentin, but then the outer surface may remineralize, especially if fluoride is present.
- The progression of pit and fissure caries resembles two triangles with their bases meeting along the junction of enamel and dentin.
- (B) The radiograph reveals an extensive region of demineralization within the dentin (arrows).
-
- Dental caries, also known as tooth decay or cavity, is a bacterial infection that causes demineralization and destruction of the hard tissues (enamel, dentin, and cementum).
