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.)
Cementum situated around a human molar The cementum is the surface layer of the tooth root, covering the dentin (which is labeled B).Rather than being a passive entity like paint on a wall, cementum is a dynamic entity within the periodontium.
Abfraction is the loss of tooth structure from flexural forces. As teeth flex under pressure, the arrangement of teeth touching each other, known as occlusion, causes tension on one side of the tooth and compression on the other side of the tooth. This is believed to cause V-shaped depressions on the side under tension and C-shaped depressions ...
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Tooth development | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Tooth development | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

Movement of teeth is determined by two factors: deposition of bone on the tension side and resorption of the bone on the compression side of the periodontal ligament (PDL). During this movement, bone remodelling is initiated by the PDL in which forces are transmitted from the tooth to the alveolar bone. Fibroblasts of the PDL will react to ...
