dentine
This term refers specifically to the mineralized tissue of the tooth, serving as a structural foundation that supports the outer enamel. It is characterized by a porous nature containing microscopic tubules, which allows it to transmit sensations from the exterior of the tooth to the internal pulp.
In clinical settings, the word is used to describe the layer exposed during tooth decay or recession, often associated with sensitivity. Because it is a biological tissue, it is treated as a mass noun in medical contexts, referring to the substance rather than individual units.
