Dentinogenesis and Histology of Bone (Videos now on our YouTube channel)
Dentinogenesis
Dentinogenesis is the process of formation of dentin.
It starts off with the deposition of predentin which is an unmineralized organic matrix comprising majorly of collagen and a tiny fraction of non-collagenous proteins.
This is followed by mineralization of the organic matrix/proteins thus forming dentin.

Bone Histology and Structure of Alveolar Bone
Bone is a specialised form of connective tissue that consists of cells and intercellular material.
Osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts make up the cells of the bone, while the inter-cellular material is made of organic and inorganic material.
The alveolar bone also called the alveolar process is the elevated ridge of the maxilla and the mandible where the teeth are housed.
