Abstract:
The paper gives an account of the variations of the cemento-enamel borderline. Till now, the most studies were conducted on ground sections. Only a few descriptions of the relationship between enamel and cementum along the circumferential junction can be find. The authors described 5 variations which were discussed: cementum meets enamel, cementum fails to meet enamel, cementum overlaps enamel, enamel overlaps cementum, undertermined type. These observations show the unpredictable variability of enamel-cementum junction. It should be noted that the relationship is not constant along the circumferential crown root demarcation line.

Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
