Tooth Anatomy

Tooth 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...

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
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...

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Oral Pathology

Background:

External cervical tooth root resorption is a destructive dental condition.
Uncontrolled resorptive tissue growth leads to irreversible loss of dentin and cementum.
The etiology and pathogenesis of invasive cervical resorption remain unclear, with histological similarities to fibro-osseous lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a clinical case of successful treatment for invasive cervical resorption.
To highlight the importance of complete resorptive tissue elimination in managing this condition.

Main Methods:

Case report detailing the clinical management of invasive cervical resorption.
Histological examination to characterize the resorptive lesion.

Main Results:

Successful arrest of invasive cervical resorption was achieved.
Complete elimination of the resorptive tissue was critical for treatment success.

Conclusions:

Complete surgical removal of resorptive tissue is necessary to halt invasive cervical resorption.
Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for favorable treatment outcomes in invasive cervical resorption.
