Primary

Secondary

Reactionary

Reparative

Reparative tertiary dentin is formed as a response to severe damage or injury to the tooth, this includes trauma, deep decay, or large restoration treatments. Primary tertiary dentin refers to the continuous slow growth of dentin that occurs throughout the life of a tooth. Secondary tertiary dentin is formed in response to moderate damage or irritation. Reactionary tertiary dentin is formed as a result of mild to moderate damage or irritation. It is important to note that reparative tertiary dentin is not formed in response to minor irritations and is only formed when there is severe damage or injury to the tooth. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
