Root Layer Dentin Granular

The dentinal granular root layer is a layer in the tooth structure that is located under the enamel and under the dentin layer. It is one of the most important layers of the tooth, as it provides protection from external influences and ensures the strength of the tooth.

The dentinal granular root layer consists of many small hydroxyapatite crystals that form a granular appearance. This layer is the thickest layer of dentin and is about 2 mm thick. It also contains a large number of blood vessels and nerve endings, which makes it highly sensitive to external stimuli.

This layer plays an important role in the process of tooth formation and development. During tooth formation, the dentinal granular root layer is the first to form and provides protection against mechanical damage and infection. As the tooth grows, this layer also provides strength and stability to the tooth.

However, if this layer is damaged or destroyed, it can lead to the development of caries and other dental diseases. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of this layer and conduct regular dental examinations.



The root layer of dentin, the root of the tooth, is an integral part of the dentin of the tooth, located under the surface of the dentin with perforations (root). Unlike the overlying layers, which are easily subject to dehydration due to the high water content, there is no hydration here, since during this period the process of mineralization occurs. Microscopically, it is a transparent, colorless layer, which is sometimes surrounded by cement.
