Exercise No. 1 SHORT TERM

THE TOOTH
A tooth is a hard-calcified structure set in the alveolar
process of the mandible and maxilla primarily for mastication.
Each tooth consists of three parts: the crown, the portion
exposed above the gingival line, having a central cavity which
contains the dental pulp; the neck, the constricted region
between the crown and the root; the root, the portion embedded
between the alveolus and attached to the periodontal ligament.
The solid parts include dentin, forming most of the tooth and
resembling true bone; enamel, a very hard inorganic substance,
covering the crown; the cementum, covering the root. The soft
tissue, the dental pulp, is composed of richly vascularized and
innervated connective tissue.
Objectives:
The student should be able to:
1. Differentiate the histological part of the tooth from its
anatomical parts.
2. Describe the different parts of the tooth.
Materials: drawing materials, textbook and reference books.
Procedure:
1. Draw and label the histological & anatomical parts of a
single rooted tooth and a multirooted tooth as well as its
supporting structures.
Questions:
1. Discuss the blood supply of the tooth in general.

2. Describe each of the histological and anatomical parts of the

tooth completely in a tabulated form
