OHE M1

o

Perpendicular to DEJ; originates at DEJ

ENAMEL • Hard protective substance that covers the tooth surface

o

ENAMEL PRISM – hexagonal and prism like

o

CYLINDRICAL ROD – paddle-shaped with head and tail



Hardest biologic tissue in the human body



Covers the anatomical crown

o

Arranged in tent-like manner



Provides shape and contour for the crowns

o

Pathway of progress of caries follow enamel rod



Poor conductor of heat and electricity

o

TRANSVERSE STRIATIONS



Becomes thinner within the fissures



PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ENAMEL: • extremely hard •

brittle white to grayish-white



permeable to a limited extent



specific gravity is 2.8



smooth and glossy

o



COMPOSITION OF ENAMEL: • INORGANIC MATERIAL o

96 – 68%

o

HYDROXYAPATITE absorbs the ff substances:





VANADIUM



MANGANESE



SELENIUM



MOLYBDENUM



STRONIUM



2 – 4%

o

Includes water

Tortuous intertwining pathways of enamel rods



Offers greatest resistance to the cuspal and incisal areas

o

Contains more enamel proteins

o

More acid resistant than other regions

o

Fish-scale appearance of enamel matrix

o

Rod’s surface (core)

INTERROD ENAMEL



Cements rods

INCREMENTAL LINES OF RETZIUS o

Oblique lines

o

Marks primary calcification of enamel

o

Concentric rings

o

PERIKYMATA

Contains high proportions of GLUTAMIC ACID, PROLINE & HISTIDINE

 o

ENAMELINS • Mature enamel proteins STRUCTURES OF ENAMEL: • ENAMEL RODS o



STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ENAMEL

AMELOGENINS • Immature fetal enamel



GNARLED ENAMEL ROD

ENAMEL ROD SHEATH

o

ORGANIC MATERIAL o

Dark lines crossing the rods

Structural unit



1

Shallow horizontal grooves

NEONATAL LINE 

More pronounced incremental line



Seen in most primary teeth and permanent central incisor

TRANSVERSE STRIATIONS



o

Bands or cross striations

o

Marks daily appositional growth of enamel



EROSION o

Loss of tooth substance due to chemical means

o

Acids, chemical fumes (people working in factories, wind instrument musicians)

o

From vomiting

BANDS OF HUNTER-SCHREGER o

Change of rod direction

o

Prevents enamel cracking during mastication

o

DIAZONES



 o

ABFRACTION o

Loss of tooth substance (non-carious) at the surface of the teeh due to masticatory stress

o

CUSPAL FLEXURE

Dark bands

PARAZONES 

Light bands 









ENAMEL TUFTS o

Abrupt change in direction of rods

o

Lateral spread of caries



LOSS OF PERIKYMATA

o

Cracks

o

Pathway for bacteria to penetrate the enamel



ENAMEL SPINDLE o

Hypersensitivity of DEJ

o

ectomesenchyme in origin

o

comes form odontoblastic spindle

DISCOLORATION

o

Drinking colored beverages

o

Smoking: nicotine stain

o

Extrinsic discoloration

o

Intrinsic discoloration



REDUCED PERMEABILITY



NECROTIC PULP TISSUE

DENTINO-ENAMEL JUNCTION o o

Junction between enamel and dentin

o

Scalloped profile in cross section



AGE CHANGES: ATTRITION o





Loss of tooth substance because of mechanical means like tooth brushing

o

Cervical abrasion because of horizontal brushing

Less caries as a person ages

CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: •

ABRASION o

Due to wear and tear

REDUCTION IN INCIDENCE OF CARIES o

Physiologic wearing away of tooth substance due to occlusal contact (masticatory stress)

Discoloration of tooth by non-functioning pulp tissue

MODIFICATION OF SURFACE LAYER o



Depression on the surface of enamel which are manifested as incremental lines of retzius

ENAMEL LAMELLAE o

Causes changes at enamel on the cervical area

FLUORIDATION o

Fluoride incorporated in water

o

Optimum ratio of fluoride in water: 1/1,000,000



2

FLUOROSIS

o •

FLUORIDIZATION o





Condition where the teeth are chalky white

Topical application of fluoride

DENTAL CARIES o

#1 disease affecting the tooth

o

Destruction of hard tissue structure and depletion of proteins

o

Affects the enamel, dentin and cementum

ACID ETCHING o

BRACES (orthodontic cases) 

o

Use of PHOSPHORIC ACID to expose the enamel rods for better anchorage of the brackets

Good to know: follow the direction of enamel rod when making a cavity preparation so that there will be no carious parts left behind.
