  2. Hydrodynamic theory (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic_theory...

    Dental erosion and loss of enamel increase the patency of dentinal tubules. The hydrodynamic theory proposes that when dentinal tubules are exposed at the pulp and dentine surface, external stimuli cause changes in fluid flow. [7] Dentinal tubules may become exposed due to various reasons: e.g. dental erosion, enamel loss and periodontal ...

  3. Odontoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odontoblast

    Within each dentinal tubule is a space of variable size containing dentinal fluid, an odontoblastic process, and possibly an afferent axon (see next discussion). The dentinal fluid in the tubule presumably also includes the tissue fluid surrounding the cell membrane of the odontoblast, which is continuous from the cell body in the pulp. [2]

  4. Dentin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentin

    The dentinal tubules extend from the dentinoenamel junction (DEJ) in the crown area, or dentinocemental junction (DCJ) in the root area, to the outer wall of the pulp. [9] From the outer surface of the dentin to the area nearest the pulp, these tubules follow an S-shaped path. The diameter and density of the tubules are greatest near the pulp.

  5. Pulp (tooth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_(tooth)

    Able to respond to stimuli through a shell of calcified tissue due to the stimulus-induced fluid flow in dentinal tubules. [14] This is known as the hydrodynamic theory . Stimuli that displaces the fluid within the dentinal tubules will trigger the intradental myelinated A-Fibres, leading to the sharp pain sensation [ 14 ] commonly associated ...

  6. Gluma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluma

    The glutaraldehyde in Gluma works by occluding (blocking) the microscopic tubules that compose dentin, thereby preventing the flow of fluid and decreasing sensitivity. [4] Gluteraldehyde induces coagulation of proteins in dentinal tubules, which reacts with the serum albumin in the dentinal fluid to cause its precipitation.

  7. Bone canaliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_canaliculus

    The dental canaliculi (sometimes called dentinal tubules) are the blood supply of a tooth. [4] Odontoblast process run in the canaliculi that transverse the dentin layer and are referred as dentinal tubules. [5] The number and size of the canaliculi decrease as the tubules move away from the pulp and toward the enamel or cementum.

  8. Dentin hypersensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentin_hypersensitivity

    Fluid movement inside the dentinal tubules may be away from or towards the pulp. Dentine contains many thousands of microscopic tubular structures that radiate outwards from the pulp; these dentinal tubules are typically 0.5-2 micrometres in diameter. Changes in the flow of the plasma-like biological fluid present in the dentinal tubules can ...

  9. Tooth decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_decay

    The carious process continues through the dentinal tubules, which are responsible for the triangular patterns resulting from the progression of caries deep into the tooth. The tubules also allow caries to progress faster. In response, the fluid inside the tubules brings immunoglobulins from the immune system to fight
