|March 18, 2009
Abstract:
Esthetic dentistry has evolved dramatically over the years to the point of becoming an expectation from most patients. It is not a fad but is becoming a standard of care for the majority of dental treatment. By learning to practice good quality interdisciplinary dentistry, it is possible to turn a general practice into a comprehensive care practice that caters to high-quality esthetics and function. This article discusses incorporating interdisciplinary dentistry into the general practice and offers some clinical examples.

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...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
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.
