Composition of dentine- 60% Inorganic appetite 40% Fibrillar protein collagen or 70% apatite 20% collagen  10% of water The formation of dentine is known as dentinogenesis. Odontoblasts cells produce dentine. The function of dentine is to support and protect the enamel from enamel fracture and masticatory forces. It also protects the pulp from other harmful microbial and other harmful stimuli. Types of dentine- 1. Predentine. 2. Secondary dentine. 3. Tertiary dentine.

Enamel is the hardest substance of the body, it can withstand blunt, heavy masticatory forces. It has a low tensile strength.  Composition- 96%- Inorganic matrix. 4%- Organic matrix:-  1. 90% Amelogenins- rich in proline,                                                                histidine, glutamine & leucine.                                                         2. 10% Non- amelogenins- Enamelin,    ...
