2026 SOLVED QUESTIONS VERIFIED
⫸ Clinical Crown. Answer: The portion of the tooth that is visible in
the mouth. The length varies during life cycle of the tooth, depending
on the level of the gingiva
⫸ Cementum. Answer: The root is the portion of the tooth that is
normally embedded in the alveolar process and is covered with
⫸ Bifurcation. Answer: Means division into two roots
⫸ Trifurcation. Answer: Means division into three roots
⫸ Apex. Answer: The tapered (reduce in thickness toward one end)
end of the root tip is known as the
⫸ Apical. Answer: Anything that is located at the apex is referred to
as
⫸ Periapical. Answer: Anything that is surrounding the apex is said to
be
⫸ Cementoenamel junction, CEJ. Answer: Formed by the enamel of
the crown and the cementum of the root
, ⫸ Enamel. Answer: Makes up the anatomic crown and is the hardest
material of the body, thus forming a protective covering for the
underlying dentin
⫸ Enamel prisms, also known as enamel rods. Answer: Enamel is
composed of millions of calcified
⫸ Dentin. Answer: Makes up the primary portion of the tooth and
extends almost the entire length of the tooth
⫸ Dentinal tubules. Answer: Although hard, dentin is a very porous
tissue made up of microscopic canals called
⫸ Dentinal fiber. Answer: Each dentinal tubules contains a
⫸ Pulp. Answer: The inner aspect of the dentin forms the boundaries
of the
⫸ Cementum. Answer: Protects the tooth but is not as hard has either
enamel or dentin
⫸ CEJ (cementoenamel junction). Answer: The cementum joins the
enamel at the
⫸ Periodontium. Answer: Supports the teeth in the alveolar bone
