Dentinal Tubule

Molecular classification
Microscopic anatomical structure, Extracellular space
01

Overview

Dentinal tubules are microscopic channels that traverse the dentin, radiating outward from the dental pulp toward either the enamel or cementum. These tubules contain odontoblast processes and dentinal fluid, playing a critical role in tooth sensitivity and nutrient transport. Their permeability makes dentin susceptible to caries progression and hypersensitivity.
