Q

What is the clinical crown?

A

Part of tooth exposed above the gum line

47
Q

What are the three layers of the tooth?

A

ii. Dentin (present in crown and root)
iii. Cementum (covers root; absent at anatomic crown)

48
Q

What is the different between the clinical and anatomic crown?

A

Clinical is only that which is exposed, anatomical is where there is a transition from enamel to dentin

49
Q

What is the root of the tooth?

A

The part of the tooth covered by dentin, NOT enamel

50
Q

Does the enamel have cells?

56
Q

What are the four stages of tooth development?

A
