Human tooth anatomy, diagram
Human tooth anatomy. Diagram of a cross-section through a human tooth to show its anatomical structure. The two main areas are the crown (above the gum-line) and the root (embedded in the gum). The tissue and mineral layers shown here include: enamel (purple, covering the crown), dentin (grey with black dots), the pulp (red), blood vessels and nerves (black, within pulp), cementum (purple, covering the root), connective tissue (yellow), and bone (black with white dots). Also shown is the root canal, the dark space between the two protrusions that form the tooths root

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate anatomy of a human tooth. The diagram provides a cross-section view, revealing the detailed structure of this essential part of our dental system. Divided into two main areas, the crown and root, each plays a vital role in maintaining oral health. The crown, located above the gum-line, is covered by a protective layer called enamel depicted in purple. Just below it lies dentin, represented in grey with black dots. The red pulp signifies the innermost part of the tooth containing blood vessels and nerves crucial for its vitality. Moving towards the root embedded within the gum, we observe cementum (purple) covering it along with connective tissue (yellow) and bone (black with white dots). Notably visible is also the root canal – a dark space between two protrusions forming the tooth's root. This illustration beautifully captures both artistry and biology as it unveils various layers that contribute to overall tooth functionality. It serves as an invaluable resource for dental professionals seeking to understand internal structures or students studying anatomical aspects related to dentistry. Science Photo Library once again demonstrates their expertise in presenting scientific concepts through visually stunning imagery without mentioning any commercial use intentions.
