[Atypical diastemas in the anterior region of the jaws]
Abstract:
Familial occurrence of diastemas in the pericanine region of the maxilla and mandible was described which differs from known localizations. Postcanine occurrence was found in the maxilla; precanine occurrence, in the mandible. This therefore differs from phylogenic diastemas, such as the diastemas in the deciduous dentation of monkeys and primates. Reasons for the influence of local disturbances (e.g., aplasia, dystopia, persistence of embryofetal frenula) could not be determined; ritual (traumatic) mutilation could also be excluded.

Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...
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.
