DISCIPLINE OBJECTIVES

5.  The teeth are part of the human chewing-speech apparatus
and are solid formations located in the oral cavity and
performing the function of biting off, holding and grinding
food. They are also involved in the formation of the face and
the pronunciation of some sounds.
TEETH (DENTIS)

6. Clinical crown height - from the free
edge of the gums to the incisal edge
or occlusal surface of the tooth.
Clinical Root Length - starts at the
clinical crown and ends at the root
apex.
The teeth are fixed in the dental
alveoli by the dental ligament -
periodont.
ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE OF THE
TOOTH(DENS)
Crown
Tooth neck
Root

7.  Anatomical crown - the part of the tooth that is covered with
enamel (1)
 Clinical crown - the part of the tooth that is visible in the
mouth and protrudes above the gum (2)
CROWN OF THE TOOTH

8. TOOTH NECK
The anatomical
formation, which is the
place of transition of the
crown to the root of the
tooth, corresponds to the
enamel-cement border.

9.  Tooth root (radix dentis) - is
attached to the walls of the
alveoli by bundles of
collagen fibers surrounding
the tooth root and located
between the cement and
the walls of the alveoli.
 This connective tissue is
called the periodontium, it
is similar to the periosteum
and forms the
articulationes
dentoaveolares.
TOOTH ROOT

10.  The dentogingival fibers (fibrae
dentogingivales) go from the cement of
the root to the connective tissue of the
gums.
 Interdental fibers (fibrae interdentales)
go from the cement of the tooth through
the interdental septum to the cement of
the adjacent tooth.
 Cemento-alveolar fibers (fibrae
cementoalveolares) go from the cement
to the walls of the dental alveoli.
The totality of the formations
surrounding the root of the tooth,
including the gum, periodontium, bone
tissue of the dental alveoli, the
corresponding section of the alveolar
process and cement form the
periodontium (parodontium), which is
the supporting-retaining apparatus of
the tooth.

11. PERIODONTAL STRUCTURE
Periodontium -
located between
the cement of the
root and the bone
tissue of the
alveoli, contains
blood, lymph
vessels and nerve
fibers.

12. PERIODONTAL STRUCTURE. GUM
1 – marginal gingiva
2 - gingival groove
3 - attached gingiva
4 - gingival groove
The mucous membrane covering the alveolar ridge
of the jaw and the neck of the tooth, which is
tightly attached to them (attached gum). The
marginal part of the gum is freely located at the
neck of the tooth and has no attachment to it
(unattached gum).
GUM
The space formed by the tooth and
unattached gums.
Gingival sulcus
A recess located at the transition of the
free gum to the attached one.

FUNCTIONS OF PERIODONT

14. TOOTH TISSUE
in structure it is similar to coarse-fibrous bone, differs in the absence of
cells and greater hardness. It is represented by the processes of
odontoblasts, cells that are located in the peripheral parts of the dental
pulp. There are numerous dentinal tubules (tubuli dentinales), in which
the dentinal processes of odontoblasts are located. There is an outer
and an inner (is a zone of constant growth) layer of dentin.
formed by enamel prisms (prismae enameli), which have a
polygonal shape, run radially relative to the longitudinal axis of
the tooth.
formed by a basic substance impregnated with salts and
containing collagen fibers. Cementocytes are located in the area
of the apex of the tooth, interroot sections in special cavities.
Dentine(dentin
um)
Cement
(cementum)
Enamel
(enamelum)-

15.  Hard mineralized tissue that covers the outside of
the crown of the tooth and protects the dentin and
pulp from external stimuli. The thickness of the
enamel layer is maximum in the area of the
tubercles and minimum in the area of the neck.
Enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body.
Consists of inorganic (96 - 99%) and only 1 - 4% -
of organic substances (proteins and water).
 The main structural formation of enamel is an
enamel prism with a diameter of 4 - 6 microns.
The number of prisms is several million. Enamel
prisms, concentrating in beams (10 - 20), form S-
shaped bends. Between the prisms there is an
interprismatic substance, which is 0.5 - 5.0% of
the enamel volume.
 The main structural unit of the prism is
hydroxyapatite crystals - Ca10 (PO4) 6 (OH) 2.
 Enamel functions - protective, trophic (dental
liquor).
ENAMEL(ENAMELUM)
1 - enamel prism
2 - interprism substance

16.  Calcified tooth tissue, which forms its
bulk and shape. Dentin contains 70%
inorganic (hydroxyapatite), 20% organic
(collagen), 10% water. Dentin consists of
a calcified intercellular substance
(represented by collagen fibers),
penetrated by dentinal tubules (thin
tubules that penetrate dentin from the
pulp to the periphery). Predentin is the
inner (unusual) part of dentin adjacent
to the layer of odontoblasts. Predentin is
the dentin growth zone. Dentin is
subdivided into: Primary - formed before
the eruption of the tooth; Secondary -
formed after the eruption of a tooth;
Tertiary - formed in response to
irritation. Dentin functions: trophic,
sensory, protective.
DENTINE(DENTINIM)

17.  Calcified tooth tissue. Covers the root and neck
of the tooth. Contains 50-60% inorganic
substances (hydroxyapatite), 30-40% organic
(collagen). The thickness of the cement is not
the same: it is thinner in the area of the neck
(20 - 50 µm) and thicker in the area of the root
apex (100 - 150 µm). Cement is subdivided into
acellular (primary) and cellular (secondary). The
primary cement adheres to the dentin, covering
the lateral surfaces of the root. Secondary
cement covers the apical third of the root and
the bifurcation area of the roots of multi-rooted
teeth. It is located on top of the acellular
cementum, but sometimes directly adjacent to
the dentin. Cellular cement consists of cells
(cementocytes and cementoblasts) and
intercellular substance. Cement functions:
protective, retaining, reparative.
CEMENT

18.  In the area of the root apex, the canals
end in an apical (apical) foramen. Pulp
(pulpa dentis) - Loose fibrous-connective
tissue with a significant content of
cellular elements. Distinguish between
the pulp of the vessels, the pulp of the
crown (pulpa coronalis) and the pulp of
the root (pulpa radicularis).
TOOTH CAVITY
There is a cavity inside the tooth that follows the
outer contours of the tooth - the cavity of the tooth
(cavitas dentis) or the cavity of the pulp (cavitas
pulparis), which includes: cavity of the crown (cavitas
coronae) root canal (canalis radicis dentis)

19. FORMS OF CAVITIES OF PERMANENT
TEETH

20.  Loose connective tissue that fills the tooth
cavity. At the apical foramen, the pulp
gradually passes into the periodontal tissue.
The pulp consists of intercellular substance
and cells. The intercellular substance is
represented by collagen and pre-collagen
fibers (elastic fibers are absent in the pulp)
and the main substance, which has a
gelatinous consistency. There are three cell
layers in the pulp: peripheral, intermediate
and central. The peripheral layer is
represented by highly differentiated cells -
odontoblasts. The intermediate
(subodontoblastic) layer is stellate cells with
processes - pulpocytes. The central layer
consists of star-shaped process cells,
collagen fibers, nerve elements, and blood
vessels.

22.  Blood supply: upper jaw teeth from the maxillary artery
system, the teeth of the lower jaw - from the lower alveolar
artery, the branches of the lingual, facial and superficial
temporal arteries play only an auxiliary role in the blood
supply to the teeth.
 Venous outflow - from the teeth - in the same name and
enters the pterygoid plexus. The veins of the teeth form
anastomoses with the veins of the orbit, and the pterygoid
plexus with the pharyngeal and vertebral plexuses and
through them with the venous sinuses of the skull.
ARTERIES AND VEINS OF TEETH

23.  There are 4 surfaces in each
tooth: 1) facing the vestibule of
the mouth, facies vestibularis,
which in the front teeth is in
contact with the mucous
membrane of the lip (facies
labialis), in the back - with the
mucous membrane of the cheek
(facies buccalis); 2) the chewing
surface or the surface of the
occlusion with the teeth of the
opposite row, facies occlusalis;
The incisors and canines at the
ends facing the similar teeth of
the opposite jaw have an incisal
edge (margoincisalis).
TOOTH SURFACES

24. 3) facing into the oral
cavity, to the tongue,
facies lingualis;
4) in contact with adjacent teeth of their row,
facies contactus. Distinguish between the mesial
surface (facies mesialis) - directed towards the
middle of the dental arch, and the distal (facies
distalis) - facing in the direction from the middle of
the dental arch.
TOOTH SURFACES

27. ELEMENTS OF THE RELIEF OF THE
CROWN OF THE TEETH
 1 - tooth tubercle,
 2 - elements of the edge
of the tooth,
 3 - edge comb,
 4 - transverse scallop,
 5 - top of the tip,
 6 - belt,
 7 - occlusal gap,
 8 - occlusal fossa,
 9 - roller,
 10 - triangular scallops

28. ELEMENTS OF THE RELIEF OF THE
CROWN OF THE TEETH

29.  Teeth are grouped according to morphological and functional
characteristics.
TEETH GROUPS
By the shape of the crown and the function of the teeth
incisors canine
Premolars
(permanent
teeth)
Molars (large
molars)
Teeth are distinguished by the number of roots
single-rooted two-root three-root
By position in the dental arch
front teeth
(incisors)
angled teeth
(canines)
posterior teeth
(premolars and
molars)

30. TEETH GROUPS
Incisors (dens incisivus)
•front teeth, 4 on each jaw. Their function is to cut and bite off food.
Canine (dens caninus)
•2 on each jaw, serve to tear off food
Premolars (dens premolaris)
•4 on each jaw in a permanent bite, in the milk bite they are not. Serve for crushing,
coarse grinding of food
Molars (dens molaris)
•6 teeth on each jaw in a permanent bite and 4 in a milk bite. Designed for chopping
and grinding food

31. ROOT NAMES OF MULTI-ROOTED TEETH
1 - buccal
root
2 - palatine

32.  They allow you to determine the belonging of the tooth to the
upper or lower jaw and the side of the jaw (right or left). There
are three main features:
SIGNS OF TOOTH BELONGING
Crown angle
sign
Crown
curvature
sign
Root
deviation
sign

33. CROWN ANGLE SIGN
The angle of the tooth crown formed by the
medial surface and the occlusion surface
(chewing surface or incisal edge) is less
than the angle formed by the distal surface
and closing surface. The sign is
determined when viewed from the
vestibular side.

34. CROWN CURVATURE SIGN
On the vestibular surface, the medial part of the crown is more convex
than the lateral one. The sign is determined when viewed from the side
of the closure.

35. ROOT DEVIATION SIGN
Curvature of the entire root or its apex in the distal direction (in relation to the
longitudinal axis of the tooth). The sign is determined by examining the tooth
from the vestibular or oral sides.

36.  The genetically determined sequence of
the location of each tooth and groups of
teeth is called the dentition. The dentition
in its natural position, located according
to the curvature of the jaw, is called the
dental arch. Distinguish: upper dental
arch, arcus dentalis superior and lower
dental arch, arcus dentalis inferior. Each
complete arch (arch) contains 10
deciduous teeth or 16 permanent teeth.
DENTAL ARCH (DENTAL ROW)

37. FIELDS OF TEETH CONTACT

38.  The upper dentition has the shape of a semi-ellipse,
the lower one is in the shape of a parabola. In
addition to the dental arch, the alveolar and basal
(apical) arch.
 The alveolar arch is a line drawn along the crest of
the alveolar ridge.
 The basal arch runs along the apex of the roots. Since
in the upper jaw, the crowns of the teeth are inclined
outward, and the roots - inward, the dental arch of the
upper jaw is wider than the basal one. Accordingly, on
the lower jaw, the opposite is true. For this reason,
with complete loss of teeth, the lower jaw protrudes
forward.
ALVEOLAR ARCH, DENTAL ARCH AND
BASAL ARCH

39. TYPES OF BITE
 There are temporary, removable and permanent bites.
Temporary bite is
represented by 20 teeth
There are temporary
and permanent teeth in
the mixed dentition
Permanent bite
includes 32
permanent teeth

40.  Research in recent years shows that both dental and somatic diseases
have common risk factors. A number of studies note that various factors
such as social (stress), behavioral (smoking, psychological personality
traits), environmental factors significantly affect the development of
dental and periodontal diseases, as well as the development of such
chronic non-infectious diseases as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. ,
arterial hypertension, ischemic heart disease. A disease such as diabetes
mellitus is characterized by severe metabolic disorders, which gradually
lead to damage to all organs, forming the polymorbid status of patients.
Periodontitis (inflammation of the tissues surrounding the tooth) is a
characteristic early manifestation of diabetes mellitus. In almost 100% of
cases, patients with diabetes mellitus have problems with periodontal
tissues of varying severity, which are distinguished by a vivid clinical
picture and an aggressive course. The relationship between periodontal
diseases and human cardiovascular pathology has also been proven. It was
found that microbial agents that are on the tooth plaque and are in the
periodontal pocket are also present in the affected coronary vessels, which
lead to extensive heart attacks. Therefore, dental treatment is important
not only in order to look beautiful and chew food correctly, but also to be
healthy. Timely visits to the dentist, regular check-ups and quality
treatment will help maintain the health of the gums and teeth and the
body as a whole!
THE RELATIONSHIP OF SOMATIC AND
DENTAL DISEASES

41.  Dental illnesses can lead to general illness. The carious
process is accompanied by the development of bacterial flora
in the affected teeth and surrounding tissues. The constant
presence of focal infection depletes the immune system, can
maintain allergies, and cause dysfunction of the
gastrointestinal tract.
