This is composed of a framework of reticular tissue in which are found blood-vessels, lymphatics and nerve fibers. The odonto- blast layer persists throughout life and continues to secrete dentine so that eventually the root canal may be obliterated. Dental Sac.—The mesenchymal tissue surrounding the anlage of the tooth gives rise to a dense outer layer and a more open inner layer of fibrous connective tissue. These layers form the dental sac (Fig. 159). Over the root of the tooth a layer of osteoblasts or bone forming cells develops, and, the epithelial sheath formed by the enamel layers having disintegrated, these osteoblasts deposit about the dentine a layer of bone which is known as the substantia ossea or cement. The cement layer contains typical bone cells but no Haversian canals. As the.
