ANATOMY, TOOTH
Anatomic model of an human upper incisor (frontal section of the root). The upper incisor, located in the front of the jaw, cuts food. It is inserted in the gum by a single root. A tooth is outwardly composed of two parts: the crown, visible in the oral cavity and covered by the enamel (in white), and the root, implanted in the gum and covered by the cementum. In the root lies a cavity, the root canal (in pale pink) containing vessels and nerves. The surrounding dentin (in ochre) constitutes the main part of the tooth and confers its shape and its rigidity. It is grooved with numerous little canals, the dentinal tubules, containing nerve ends. The dentin is protected against outer attacks by the enamel or the cementum.
