Abstract
When dental caries or erosive tooth wear lesions progress into dentin, the speed of their progression into the pulp will be modulated in part by the quality of the dentin physiology of the tooth. Some individuals may have dentin that allows for quicker progression of lesions, and therefore being more susceptible to the formation of periapical lesions, or even being more prone to loss of extensive restorations. This chapter discusses the results of the initial studies exploring phenotypes that consider manifestations of deep caries or erosive lesions in dentin.
