Cross section biomedical illustration of teeth, dentin, and bone, close-up

Conceptual image of human tooth

Microscopic view of Dentine. Dentine is the main supporting structure of the tooth and is the second hardest tissue in the body after enamel. It is 70% mineral and acellular

Cross-section of a human tooth

Tooth cross-section, artwork. The upper (biting) surfaces of the tooth are at top, with the lower sections (bottom) embedded in the gums and jaw bone (not shown)

Mouse molars, SEM
Mouse molars. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of mouse (Mus musculus) molar teeth. The teeth are very similar to human teeth

Mouse incisor, SEM
Mouse incisor. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a mouse (Mus musculus) incisor that has been left to grow. This tooth is comprised mainly of dentin

Dentin tooth tissue, SEM
Dentin tooth tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of dentin tooth tissue. Dentin is mineralised connective tissue that makes up the majority of a tooth

Tooth pain, toothache

"Dentin: The Artistry of Human Tooth Anatomy" Step into the world of dental art and explore the intricate beauty of dentin, a vital component of human tooth anatomy. From ancient artifacts to modern illustrations, it has captivated artists throughout history. In Salt Cellar, Belgium (1625/75), an unknown creator skillfully crafted a masterpiece that showcases dentin's importance. This artwork serves as a reminder of its role in supporting teeth and maintaining their structure. Moving forward in time, La Cothurne from France (modeled 1895) presents us with a tragic pose that highlights the strength and resilience found within dentin. Cast in 1900, this sculpture immortalizes the significance of this remarkable substance. Even functional objects like Teapot on Stand with Rechaud from Vienna (1875/90) recognize dentin's value. Created by Christopher Dresser, this teapot stands as a testament to how dentin contributes not only to oral health but also to everyday life. Beyond artistic representations, historical relics such as Winthrop Sargent's Sword remind us that even influential figures relied on strong teeth supported by robust dentin. As the first Governor of Northwest Territories, Sargent understood the importance of maintaining his oral health for effective leadership. Pairing functionality with craftsmanship are Mstricht's Flintlock Pistols (1660/70). These intricately designed weapons showcase both aesthetic appeal and practicality while reminding us that even tools require strong foundations - just like our teeth rely on sturdy layers including dentin. To truly appreciate the complexity and beauty hidden beneath our enamel lies biomedical illustrations showcasing cross-sections of teeth. Close-up views reveal detailed depictions where bone intertwines harmoniously with delicate layers – nature’s architectural marvels at work. Conceptual images bring forth another dimension where we can envision how each individual tooth is composed. Through these imaginative portrayals, we gain a deeper understanding of dentin's role in providing strength and stability.
