            hermal shock and hydrodynamic theories: 
According to hydrodynamic theory, during temperature change, if the tubules can be 
occluded, rapid outward fluid flow is prevented, and temperature do not induce pain. 
Therefore, reducing dentin sensitivity to thermal changes is by effective sealing of the 
dentinal tubules rather than placement of an insulating material (according to thermal 
shock theory). The hydrodynamic theory has gained general acceptance in recent years 
and has changed the direction of restorative procedures away from thermal insulation 
and toward dentinal sealing. Thus, there is increasing emphasis on the integrity of the 
interface between restorative material and cavity preparation in adhesive restorations.

Also, it is worth noting that when the tooth exposed to thermal, mechanical and 
chemical stimuli for a long time, the rate of formation and the thickness and 
organization of reactionary dentin (as a response of pulp to stimuli) depend on the 
intensity and duration of the stimulus. The barrier of reactionary dentin is superior 
because there is no continuity between the affected permeable tubules of the regular 
primary dentin and those within the reactionary dentin. The tooth will be able to 
compensate for the traumatic or carious loss of peripheral dentin with deposition of 
new dentin substrate and reduction of pulpal irritation from tubule permeability. Unless 
the lesion is either arrested or removed and a restoration placed, the diffusion of 
bacterial toxins reaching the pulp and initiate strong inflammatory response and result 
in pulpal necrosis.

Dentin forms the largest portion of tooth structure, 
extending almost the full length of the tooth. 
Externally dentin is covered by enamel on the 
anatomical crown and by cementum on the 
anatomical root. 
The most recently formed layer of dentin is always on 
the pulpal surface. This unmineralized zone of dentin 
is immediately next to the cell bodies of the 
odontoblastes and is called predentin. Dentin 
formation begins at areas subjacent to the cusp tip or 
incisal ridge and gradually spread to the apex of the 
root. The dentin forming the initial shape of the tooth 
is called primary dentin and is usually completed three 
years after tooth eruption (for permanent teeth).

The dentinal tubules are small canals that extend 
across the entire width of the dentin, from the 
dentinal enamel or dentinal cemental junction to the 
pulp. Each tubule contains the cytoplasmic cell process 
(Tome's fiber) of an adontoblast. Each dentina
