The Crown and Root
Anatomically, each tooth is divided into 2 main parts:
The crown.
The root(s).
![Page 4: Crown and Root Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aa353b4af9f97168b4695/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Tooth Structure
.A tooth has a crown and root(s) with a pulp chamber and root canal(s).
-Enamel, dentine, pulp tissue and cementum make up a tooth.
-The crown and root join at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), the cervical line.

Tooth Structure
●Incisor teeth (central and lateral) have incisal edges.
●Canines have single cusps.
●Premolars and molars have two or more cusps.

Tooth Structure
The root is fixed in the bony process of the jaw called the alveolar process.
![Page 8: Crown and Root Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aa353b4af9f97168b4695/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The bone of the tooth socket is called the alveolus.

Tooth Structure
The fully erupted crown is partly covered at the cervical third in young adults by the gingiva or gums.

Surfaces and Ridges
●- Incisors and canines have four surfaces and a ridge.
●- Premolars and molars have five surfaces.
- Surfaces are named according to their positions and uses .
![Page 11: Crown and Root Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aa353b4af9f97168b4695/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Surfaces and Ridges
●- In anterior teeth (Incisors and canines) the surfaces toward the lips are called labial surfaces.● ●- In premolars and molars surfaces facing the cheek are called buccal surfaces.
- Collectively, labial and buccal surfaces are called Facial Surfaces.
![Page 12: Crown and Root Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aa353b4af9f97168b4695/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Surfaces and Ridges
●- Surfaces facing the tongue are called lingual surfaces. ● ●- Surfaces of premolars and molars that come in contact with those in the opposite jaw are called occlusal surfaces.
- These are called incisal surfaces in the anterior teeth.
![Page 13: Crown and Root Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aa353b4af9f97168b4695/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Surfaces and Ridges
●- Surfaces facing adjacent teeth in the same dental arch are called proximal surfaces.● Proximal surfaces are either mesial or distal. ●Proximal surfaces facing the median line are called mesial surfaces and those distant from the median line are called distal surfaces.
![Page 14: Crown and Root Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aa353b4af9f97168b4695/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Surfaces and Ridges
●The area of the mesial or distal surface of a tooth that touches its neighbor in the arch is called the contact area.

Tooth Landmarks
●A cusp is an elevation on the crown portion of a tooth making up a divisional part of the occlusal surface.
![Page 17: Crown and Root Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aa353b4af9f97168b4695/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tooth Landmarks
●A tubercle is a smaller elevation (than a cusp) on some portion of the crown produced by an extra formation of enamel.
![Page 18: Crown and Root Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aa353b4af9f97168b4695/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Tooth Landmarks
●A cingulum is the lingual lobe of an anterior tooth and makes up the bulk of the cervical third of the lingual surface. Its convexity mesiodistally resembles a girdle encircling the lingual surface at the cervical third.

Tooth Landmarks
-Triangular ridges descend from the tips of the cusps of molars and premolars toward the central part of the occlusal surfaces. The slopes of each side of the ridge are inclined to resemble two sides of a triangle. They are named after the cusps to which they belong (e.g., the triangular ridge of the buccal cusp).

Tooth Landmarks
A fossa is an irregular depression.
Lingual fossae are on the lingual surface of incisors.
![Page 31: Crown and Root Landmarks](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546aa353b4af9f97168b4695/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Central fossae are on the occlusal surface of molars. They are formed by the convergence of ridges terminating at a central point in the bottom of the depression where a junction of grooves occurs.

Division into Thirds
-.The crown is divided into an incisal or occlusal third, a middle third, and a cervical third.
The root is divided into a cervical third, a middle third, and an apical third.

Line Angles
-. A line angle is formed by the junction of two surfaces and derives its name from the combination of the two surfaces that join

Point Angles
-A point angle is formed by the junction of three surfaces. The point angle also derives its name from the combination of the names of the surfaces forming it. For example, the junction of the mesial, buccal, and occlusal surfaces of a molar is called the mesiobuccoocclusal point angle.
