AbstractTransparent dentin in the tooth root forms during the aging process. The transparent dentin is weaker than normal opaque dentin, which may explain the occurrence of root dentin fractures in aged individuals. Tooth fractures are caused by the brittleness of the transparent dentin. Clinical procedures in aged persons require modification to accommodate the reduced strength of the dentin tissue.
