    The maxillary teeth are the maxillary central incisors (teeth 8 and 9 in the diagram), maxillary lateral incisors (7 and 10), maxillary canines (6 and 11), maxillary first premolars (5 and 12), maxillary second premolars (4 and 13), maxillary first molars (3 and 14), maxillary second molars (2 and 15), and maxillary third molars (1 and 16).

  3. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    Diagram of tooth anatomy. Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures. The development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its purview. (The function of teeth as they contact one another falls elsewhere, under dental occlusion.)

  4. Cementoenamel junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementoenamel_junction

    In about 60–65% of teeth, the cementum overlaps the enamel at the CEJ, while in about 30% of teeth, the cementum and enamel abut each other with no overlap. In only 5–10% of teeth, there is a space between the enamel and the cementum at which the underlying dentin is exposed. [3]

  5. Alveolar process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_process

    The alveolar bone proper, also called bundle bone, directly surrounds the teeth. [6] The terms alveolar border, alveolar crest, and alveolar margin describe the extreme rim of the bone nearest to the crowns of the teeth. [7] [8] [9] The portion of alveolar bone between two adjacent teeth is known as the interdental septum (or interdental bone ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth

    A tooth (pl.: teeth) is a hard, calcified structure found in the jaws (or mouths) of many vertebrates and used to break down food.Some animals, particularly carnivores and omnivores, also use teeth to help with capturing or wounding prey, tearing food, for defensive purposes, to intimidate other animals often including their own, or to carry prey or their young.

  7. Periodontal fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodontal_fiber

    The PDL is a part of the periodontium that provides for the attachment of the teeth to the surrounding alveolar bone by way of the cementum. The PDL appears as the periodontal space of 0.4 to 1.5 mm [ citation needed ] on radiographs, a radiolucent area between the radiopaque lamina dura of the alveolar bone proper and the radiopaque cementum.

  8. Enamel organ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_organ

    Tooth development begins at week 6 in utero, in the oral epithelium. The process is divided into three stages: Initiation; Morphogenesis and; Histogenesis [2]; At the end of week 7 i.u., localised proliferations of cells in the dental laminae form round and oval swellings known as tooth buds, which will eventually develop into mesenchymal cells and surround the enamel organ.

  9. Crown (tooth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_(tooth)

    In dentistry, crown refers to the anatomical area of teeth, usually covered by enamel. The crown is usually visible in the mouth after developing below the gingiva and then erupting into place. If part of the tooth gets chipped or broken, a dentist can apply an artificial crown. Artificial crowns are used most commonly to entirely cover a ...
