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...

Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification

Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification

Intramembranous ossification is one of the two processes involved in the development of bones within an embryo. The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and the clavicles are formed via this process. During intramembranous ossification, the bones develop directly from sheets of undifferentiated mesenchymal connective tissue.
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into ...

Teeth

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...

Summary

Dental implants are common for tooth replacement. This review covers implant history, tissue-level vs. bone-level implants, platform switching benefits, and how titanium surfaces affect peri-implantitis risk.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Biomaterials
Oral Surgery

Background:

Dental implants are widely used for tooth replacement globally.
Evidence supports the general success of implant treatments.
Understanding implant types and surface properties is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the history and general success of dental implants.
To compare tissue-level and bone-level implant placement.
To evaluate platform switching and titanium surface effects on peri-implantitis.

Main Methods:

This paper is a narrative review.
It synthesizes existing literature on dental implants.
Key topics include implant history, types, platform switching, and surface characteristics.
