THE FORMATION OF SECONDARY DENTIN AND RELATED PROBLEMS

B. GOTTLIEB 1

1 Baylor University, College of Dentistry, Dallas, Texas

Deposition of dentin in the pulp canal seems to depend on the degree to which the separating layer of the odontoblasts is able to slow down dentin formation. If the odontoblasts are damaged in a limited area, localized increase of secondary dentin formation results. If the odontoblasts are entirely gone while the connective tissue of the pulp is in good functional condition a general accelerated formation of dentin develops, leading to obliteration of the pulp canal.

External and internal tooth resorption seems to depend on the extent to which the hard tissue has been altered. Nothing is known of the quality of that alteration.
