Tooth Anatomy

Write a short note on the structure of the tooth.
Answer.

Structurally, each tooth is made up of five components:

Pulp – an inner core of soft tissue containing blood vessels and nerves.
Dentine – a calcified material surrounding the pulp/pulp cavity.
Enamel – a densely calcified material covering the crown.
Cementum – a thin bony covering over the dentine.
Periodontal membrane – a fibrous membrane (akin to periosteum), connecting the root of the tooth with the alveolar socket.
