A morphometric analysis of the cross-sectional area of dentine occupied by dentinal tubules in human third molar teeth.

چکیده
The number and the mean percentage tubular cross-sectional area of dentinal tubules per square millimetre were calculated in specimens of coronal dentine of 13 intact human third molar teeth from patients 18 to 28 years of age. The dentine was fractured at various known distances from the dentino-enamel junction. Near the dentino-enamel junction the number of tubules per square millimetre was 22,000 and the mean tubular cross-sectional area was 3.6%. Midway between the pulpal wall and the dentino-enamel junction the number of tubules was 37,000 mm-2 and the mean tubular cross-sectional area was 6.2%. Close to the pulp the number of dentinal tubules was 48,000 mm-2 and the mean cross sectional area of tubules was 10.2 percent. The number of tubules per square millimetre more than doubled and the area occupied by tubules increased threefold from the dentine close to the dentine-enamel junction, to that close to the pulp. These differences in tubular patterns at different depths in dentine are clinically significant in dentine permeability, the treatment of traumatized teeth, and pain transmission in dentine.

Biological bases of dentin hybridization.
The aims of this study were threefold: (1) to characterize and quantify the number, diameter and surface area of exposed dentinal tubules on the cross section of the human coronal dentin; (2) to determine if any such differences in these properties arise in relation to the distance from the dentinoenamel junction; and (3) to evaluate whether such differences can influence dentin hybridization. ...
متن کاملConfocal laser scanning microscopy study of dentinal tubules in dental caries stained with alizarin red
Alizarin red, confocal laser scanning microscopy, dentinal tubules, human caries. Abstract Dentin morphology and the lesion found in dental caries have been studied for many years. It was first observed under optical microscopy, and later using electron microscopy. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) applied with several fluorescent dyes such as alizarin red to see normal dentinal tubules...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of pulsed Nd:YAG laser on the dentin surface by scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to determine the optimum time and power of radiation to seal the exposed dentinal tubules. Horizontal sections were taken from newly extracted impact third molar teeth. Smear layers from the dentin surfaces were removed by phosphoric acid and all sampl...
متن کاملUltramorphology and dentine permeability changes induced by prophylactic procedures on exposed dentinal tubules in middle dentine.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in dentinal permeability (i.e. hydraulic conductance) after prophylactic treatment performed using prophy-powders with air-polishing system or prophy-pastes applied on exposed middle dentine. The changes in dentine morphology were evaluate by SEM. STUDY DESIGN Several prophylactic pastes or air-polishing powders were tested in t...
متن کاملDentinal tubules at the root ends of apicected teeth: a scanning electron microscopic study.
Two groups of teeth, one of which contained teeth of known age, were examined by scanning electron microscopy to ascertain the presence of a potential pathway for leakage at the root ends of apicected teeth. At a point approximately 3 mm from the apex, a level chosen as being typical for apicectomy, and half-way between the root canal and the dentine-cementum junction, there were found to be, o...
