Osmosis video - Dentinogenesis and the dentin-pulp complex

Dentinogenesis refers to the process of forming dentin by cells called odontoblasts. Dentin is the hard, bone-like tissue that makes up most of a tooth. There is also the pulp, which is the soft, spongy tissue in the center of a tooth. Together, these two form the dentin-pulp complex, which is important for the tooth's health because it contains nerves and blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to the tooth.
