🗑
Odontoblasts come from where?   Originally outer cells of the dental papilla.  
🗑
Odontoblasts produce what?   Lay down the initial material called predentin  
🗑
The process of dentin matrix formation occurs during the apposition stage of the tooth development is known as?   Dentinogenesis  
🗑
What are the calcium hydroxyapatite crystals doing during the primary mineralization phase?   Forming as globules and fusing together  
🗑
3 Types of Dentin   Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary  
🗑

🗑
Is the secondary dentin formed slower or faster than the primary?   Forms slower and has less mineralization  
🗑

What is pulpitis?   pulp undergoes inflammation due to some type of injury.  
🗑
What are pulp stones?   Calcified stones that develop during tooth development.  
🗑
