| What characteristics of a mature tooth/pulp make it less resilient to insult? | Decreased pulp chamber size-->less blood vessels, fewer undifferentiated mesenchymal cells remain in the cell rich zone |
| What ideally happens when dentinal tubules are opened on the surface? | material accumulates at the surface aperture and mineralizes (similar to mineralization of plaque to form calculus) |
| What is SCLEROTIC DENTIN? | more highly mineralized as a result of the tubule's obliteration as it is filled with additional mineralization (requires dead tract to form) |
| What is a DEAD TRACT? | an empty dentinal tubule b/c the odontoblastic process is gone |
| How is tertiary/repairative dentin formed? | by differentiated mesenchymal cells that migrate from the cell rich zone to fill dead tracts at the access |

| What is the function of tertiary dentin? | Seals the pulp cavity to protect it from invasion by toxins/bacteria |
| What are negative effects of the formation of tertiary dentin? | results in insensible dentin, lack of stimulation of pulp inflammation so pulp doesn't know when to mount immune response to insult AND can result in abnormal pulp cavity that is difficult to instrument during endo tx |

| What benefits do pins provide? | enhance resistance form and retention form |
| What is the LINE OF DRAW? | the direction that a restoration must follow to be correctly placed on a tooth without binding |
| How far into the root canal should an endodontic dowel extend for proper retentive and resistance form? | a distance equal to the height of the eventual restoration (usually 2X as much post in the canal as is exposed prior to restoration) |
