MeSH definition : The formation of dentin. Dentin first appears in the layer between the ameloblasts
and odontoblasts and becomes calcified immediately. Formation progresses from the
tip of the papilla over its slope to form a calcified cap becoming thicker by the
apposition of new layers pulpward. A layer of uncalcified dentin intervenes between
the calcified tissue and the odontoblast and its processes. (From Jablonski, Dictionary
of Dentistry, 1992);
