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 grinding food.

Area of Science:

Fixed Prosthodontics
Minimally Invasive Dentistry
Dental Materials Science

Background:

Generalized and combined diseases present challenges in prosthodontics.
Review of long-term clinical survival of ceramic and resin composite materials.
Exploration of tooth vitality loss post-prosthodontic treatment and options for severe wear.

Purpose of the Study:

Analyze evidence on minimally invasive treatment protocols in fixed prosthodontics.
Raise awareness on the importance of treatment longevity and secondary prevention.
Critically review clinical performance of minimally invasive vs. traditional concepts and materials.

Main Methods:

Narrative literature review.
Analysis of available evidence on treatment protocols and materials.
Critical review of clinical performance data.

Main Results:

Ceramic restorations show superior survival rates over resin composites.
Ceramic partial coverage inlay and onlay restorations exhibit excellent long-term clinical performance in posterior dentition.
Glass-ceramic lithium disilicate is suitable for both anterior and posterior dentition, including cases of severe wear.

Conclusions:

Minimally invasive dentistry in fixed prosthodontics needs conceptual updates for secondary prevention and longevity.
Awareness is raised for secondary prevention and longevity in treatment choices.
