Dentin or dentine is a layer of material that lies immediately underneath the enamel of the tooth. It is one of the four major components of the tooth which comprises: The outer hard enamel The dentin ...

Dentin hypersensitivity is among the most frequently reported dental concerns. This condition primarily occurs due to dentin exposure to thermal, chemical or osmotic stimuli, thereby causing extreme ...

Researchers identified a stem cell population that declines during aging, but anti-aging drugs may help restore their ...

Teeth are composites of mineral and protein, with a bulk of bony dentin that is highly porous. This structure allows teeth to be both strong and sensitive. Besides calcium and phosphate, teeth contain ...

The dentin–enamel junction (DEJ), which is the interfacial region between the dentin and outer enamel coating in teeth, is known for its unique biomechanical properties that provide a crack-arrest ...

Enamel is the outer protective layer of the tooth. Beneath it lies the dentine which contains microscopic tubules, or channels, leading to the tooth's pulp. When the enamel is worn down, it exposes ...

Human digested dentin matrix extract (DDME) may be used as a biomaterial for dentin regeneration, making it a possible option for vital pulp therapy like pulpotomy, according to an animal study ...

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH), more commonly known as sensitive teeth, refers to a type of dental pain. Discomfort typically arises from exposed dentin responding to heat, cold, touch, pressure, or ...
