Dentin is a hard, calcified tissue that forms the bulk of a tooth beneath the enamel and cementum. It is composed mostly of hydroxyapatite, collagen fibers, and water, providing strength and resilience. Dentin contains microscopic tubules that allow for the transmission of stimuli, which can lead to sensations of pain or sensitivity. It plays a crucial role in supporting the tooth structure and protecting the dental pulp.
