, enamel Enamel:
● Outermost layer of the tooth’s crown
● Hardest substance in the body
● Comprised of 95% calcium hydroxyapatite
● Produced by ameloblasts
Crown:
● Anatomic crown: portion of the tooth covered by enamel
● Clinical crown: portion of the tooth visible in the mouth,
can include anatomic root
cementum Cementum:
● Outermost layer of the tooth’s roots
● Cannot differentiate from dentin radiographically
● Produced by cementoblasts
Root:
● Anatomic root: portion of the tooth covered by cementum
● Clinical root: portion of the tooth that is not visible in the
mouth
Cementoenamel junction:
● Junction between the crown (enamel) and root (cementum)
● Commonly referred to as CEJ
dentin Dentin:
● Layer of tissue beneath enamel (crown) or cementum (root)
● Cannot differentiate from cementum radiographically
● Comprised of 70% calcium hydroxyapatite
● Produced by odontoblasts
Dentoenamel junction:
● Junction between the enamel and dentin
● Commonly referred to as DEJ
alveolar crest ● Most coronal aspect of the alveolar process
