[The tooth-amalgam joint: the role of the marginal bevel]
Abstract:
Three amalgams, Standalloy, Dispersalloy and Formibel are used to fill class I cavities (bevelled or not) and applied over fresh-removed wisdom teeth. Macroscopic examination with a binocular lamp shows a better marginal adaptation of amalgams when cavity walls and edges have no asperity nor bevel and regardless of the quality of the amalgam. This MEB examination reveals a gap at dentinal level that might result from the vacuum processing of the samples.

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary or...
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.
