- Crown - Root
- Posterior teeth • Anterior teeth
Root
- Apex: rounded end of the root - Periapex (periapical): area around the apex of a tooth - Foramen: opening at the apex through which blood vessels and nerves enters - Furcation: area of a two or three rooted tooth where the root divides
Tooth Layers
- Pulp: the innermost noncalsified tissues containing blood vessels, lymphatics and nerves - Cementum: bone like calcified tissue covering the dentin in the root of the tooth, 50 % mineralized.
Tooth Surfaces
- Facial: Labial , Buccal - Lingual: called palatal for upper arch. - Proximal: mesial , distal - Contact area: area where that touches the adjacent tooth in the same arch.
