When calcospherites fail to fuse during calcification of dentin matrix then
1 Interglobular dentin is formed
2 Dead tracts are found in formed dentin
3 Irregular dentin results
4 None
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 1
Sometimes, mineralization of dentin begins in small globular areas that fail to coalesce into a homogenous mass. This results in zones of hypomineralization between the globules.
These zones are known as globular dentin or interglobular spaces. Thus, demonstrating defect of mineralization and not of matrix formation, the dentinal tubules pass uninterruptedly through interglobular dentin.
A tooth makes its appearance in the oral cavity usually when
1. all of the crown is completed
2. all of the root is completed
3. one half of the root is completed
4. one half of the crown is completed
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 3
A tooth makes its appearance in the oral cavity usually when one half of the root is completed
