The chief substance or tissue forming the body of the teeth. It surrounds the pulp and is covered by coronal enamel and radicular cementum.<\/p>\n
The hard lining substance of a tooth immediately under the enamel and surrounding the tooth pulp.<\/p>\n
Bonelike major tissue found in a tooth, covering the pulp and being itself covered by the enamel above the gums; also called dentine.<\/p>\n
The main tissues located beneath the enamel of the surface of the tooth. Dentin, which is primarily composed of calcium, is less brittle than enamel and softer, which makes it more vulnerable to infection and tooth decay. When exposed, dentin is very sensitive to touch or pressure, heat, cold, foods that are either sweet or sour, and even airflow.<\/p>\n
The calcified part of the tooth surrounding the pulp chamber, covered by enamel in the crown and cementum in the root area. Dentin is called primary, secondary, or reparative according to its location inside the tooth and its relative sensitivity.<\/p>\n
The yellowish bonelike material that makes up most of a tooth.<\/p>\n
The largest portion of the tooth, situated beneath the enamel and above the pulp, is known as the dentin.<\/p>\n
