[Morphometric characteristics of dentomandibular segments in cases of permanent teeth physiological occlusion]
Abstract:
There were determined correlations between permanent teeth size and bone tissue parameters of mandibular alveolar part and body on native preparations in people with permanent teeth physiological occlusion. Morphometric pequliarities of dentomandibular segments in cases of permanent teeth physiological occlusion were cited. The ratios between bone tissue of alveolar part and body of mandible in each mandibular segment were determined. The received data could be used in orthodontics for dentoalveolar and gnatic forms of vertical anomalies diagnostics and surgical treatment tactics determination for genioplasty for intraosseous dental implantation and implant direction choosing.

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.
