HISTOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF TOOTH TISSUES (LECTURE)

Abstract

The presented lecture material is aimed at improving the educational process of studying the microscopic structure of tooth tissues for independent practical work of students of all faculties, but to a greater extent for students of the Faculty of Dentistry, clinical residents. In this article, the following sections are noted: parts of the tooth and the general plan of structural organization; enamel - ultrastructure, matrix, age -related changes; dentin - ultrastructure, age -related changes; pulp - functions, changes in the age aspect; cement; the supporting apparatus of the tooth (periodontal) - periodontal, alveolar processes, gum, dentoalveolar junction. This lecture presents unique drawings and diagrams: ultrastructure of the enameloblast, odontoblast; the structure of enamel, dentin, pulp; electronic micrography of the cut of enamel, dentin, cement; the course of collagen fibers and dentin tubes in dentin; the Schumacher scheme of the periodontal structure.
