Odontoblast process: Clinical and biological significance, Functional role & Development

An odontoblast process, also referred to as Tomes's fiber, is a long, slender cytoplasmic extension of an odontoblast that occupies the dentinal tubule. It plays a crucial role in the formation, maturation, and mineralization of dentin throughout the life of the tooth. These processes are essential for maintaining dentin structure and integrity, as well…
