Understanding the structure of the teeth and supporting tissues will give us an overview of the teeth and factors that directly or indirectly affect oral health.
Enamel: A very hard layer that surrounds the teeth. The enamel layer is 1-2mm thick, smooth, bright and clear, and the hardest tissue in the body. Enamel contributes to tooth coloration and is an important bearing component of chewing.
Dentin: a hard layer, under the enamel, thick, forming the main shape of the teeth. In the dentin there are many very small ivory tubes containing ivory cells, making sense to eat hot and sour food cold.
Fetal: It is the central part of the tooth and is a living tissue. It contains blood vessels under the teeth and sensory nerve to the teeth. The pulp consists of two parts: the marrow (marrow chamber) and the medulla.
Root tip: The end of the root where the blood vessels and nerves enter the bone from the apex and out of the pulp. This is the final complete development of a tooth. This is also the place where the infection starts when the tooth is injured creating a pyramid.
Grooved Hole: These are the grooves forming the V-shaped grooves. On the chewing surface of the teeth, especially the posterior teeth. The groove creates a good fit between the two functions to increase chewing performance. But this is also a good place to cram feed and high risk of tooth decay.
Bone: The root of the teeth lies in the jawbone and is attached to the bone by a system of periodontal ligaments.
Periodontal ligaments: It is the duty of keeping the teeth in place in the bone. The periodontal ligaments are made up of a number of interwoven fibers that travel from the teeth to the alveolar bone around the root. This periodontal ligaments are at great risk of destruction in periodontal pathologies and result in bone loss and tooth decay.
Gums: The soft tissue that surrounds the alveolar bone. The gum is orange-colored, firm and gingivitis, red, bleeding, bleeding when brushing.
Note: the efficacy of the treatment can vary depending on each patient’s condition.
