Jigsaw Puzzle : Periodontal ligament fibres, SEM
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Periodontal ligament fibres, SEM
Periodontal ligament fibres. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of periodontal ligament fibres (red). These fibres, a specialised type of connective tissue, anchor the roots of the teeth to the jaw bone. The enamel, the hard outer covering of a tooth, does not contain any sensory cells, instead the periodontal ligaments do this job. The fibres contain sensors for tension, pressure, temperature and pain. They also help to provide a cushion around the teeth that prevents compression, for example from chewing, from damaging the bone

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of periodontal ligament fibres, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant red color highlights these specialized connective tissues that play a crucial role in anchoring the roots of our teeth to the jaw bone. While enamel, the hard outer covering of our teeth, lacks sensory cells, it is these remarkable periodontal ligaments that take on this important task. Within their fibers lie sensors for tension, pressure, temperature, and even pain. They serve as guardians of our dental well-being. Beyond their sensory function, these fibres also act as protectors. By providing a cushioning effect around our teeth during activities such as chewing or biting down forcefully, they prevent any potential damage to the underlying bone structure. Zoomed in under high magnification through an SEM lens, this image offers us a glimpse into the microscopic world within our mouths. It reminds us of the complexity and precision with which nature has designed every aspect of our bodies. The fusion between biology and artistry is evident in this false-colored representation created by Science Photo Library. It serves not only as an educational tool but also as a testament to human curiosity and scientific exploration.
