dentine
dentine The bony material that forms the bulk of a tooth. Dentine is similar in composition to bone but is perforated with many tiny canals for nerve fibres, blood capillaries, and processes of the dentine-forming cells (odontoblasts). Ivory, the material that forms elephant tusks, is made of dentine.
