Interglobular Dentine: A Short Study

Abstract

Interglobulardentin is a hypomineralized/ partially mineralized area of dentine which can be seen both in crown below the mantle dentine near the dentino enamel junction or in the root just below the tomes granular layer. The present study was designed to examine the distribution of interglobular dentine in human teeth. In the present study 100 longitudinal ground sections were prepared from permanent teeth that were extracted for orthodontic reasons. All teeth were free of caries and periodontal diseases. Out of the coronal and radicular dentine interglobular dentine was seen more in coronal than the radicular dentine. The most common location in crown is middle third followed by cervical third and coronal third. In the radicular dentin, site of the interglobular dentine was cervical third of root followed by middle third.
