Cross section showing parts of tooth diagram
This detailed cross-sectional diagram illustrates the comprehensive anatomy of a tooth, clearly distinguishing between the crown (visible portion above the gumline) and root (embedded portion below the gumline). Each labeled component plays a critical role in maintaining dental health and function, from the hard protective enamel covering the crown to the complex neurovascular network supplying the tooth and surrounding structures.
Cross sections of human molar teeth anatomical structure with labels
This anatomical diagram depicts a cross-sectional view of a human molar tooth, comprehensively illustrating all major structural components from the crown to the supporting periodontal tissues and alveolar bone. Understanding dental anatomy in detail is fundamental for dental professionals, as it provides the foundation for virtually all clinical procedures, from routine restorative work to complex endodontic therapy and oral surgery.
Mandibular Spongy Bone
The human mandible represents one of the most fascinating structures in oral anatomy, combining both functional necessity and structural complexity. This cutaway view of the mandibula reveals the intricate architecture of spongy bone (also known as cancellous or trabecular bone) that lies beneath the dense cortical layer of the mandible.
Histologic slide of tooth erupting into the mouth
his histological section provides an exceptional visualization of a tooth in the active phase of eruption, highlighting the critical anatomical relationships between the tooth and its surrounding tissues.
Human Tooth Anatomy: Structures and Functions in Sectional View
This sectional diagram illustrates the complex internal and external anatomy of a typical human tooth, revealing its component tissues and their spatial relationships. Understanding dental anatomy at this level is fundamental for dental professionals, as it forms the basis for virtually all clinical procedures, from routine restorations to complex endodontic interventions and surgical approaches.
