Billy Bob Fake Halloween Teeth - Skeleton

Product Information

For simplification purposes, dental professionals use a variety of numbering systems to identify the various teeth. The teeth are the hardest substances in the human body. Besides being essential for chewing, the teeth play an important role in speech. Parts of the teeth include: The articulating surfaces on the most superior part of the crown of the teeth are designed to accommodate the function of the tooth. Therefore the anterior teeth, from the right canine to the left canine, have a single incisive edge that can clamp down upon and tear away at a piece of food, whilst the premolars and molars have cusps, pits and fissures that are able to grind and mash a mouthful of food so that it is edible. Crown The pulp is the innermost part of a tooth. It contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. The pulp is surrounded by dentin, which is covered by the enamel.

Rigid skeletons are not capable of movement when stressed, creating a strong support system most common in terrestrial animals. Such a skeleton type used by animals that live in water are more for protection (such as barnacle and snail shells) or for fast-moving animals that require additional support of musculature needed for swimming through water. Rigid skeletons are formed from materials including chitin (in arthropods), calcium compounds such as calcium carbonate (in stony corals and mollusks) and silicate (for diatoms and radiolarians). Tooth extraction: If a tooth is too damaged to repair with a filling or root canal, it may be removed. Wisdom teeth are often extracted to prevent displacement of the other teeth.Dentists still assign numbers to any missing teeth. By doing this, they can create an accurate tooth chart to keep in your records. Universal Numbering System for baby teeth A. R. Ten Cate, Oral Histology: Development, Structure, and Function, 5th ed.

Cementum – a bone-like tissue that includes both hydroxyapatite and connective proteins. This tissue attaches the tooth to the periodontal ligaments, which hold the tooth firmly in place within the jawbone.

Surfaces that aid in chewing are known as occlusal on posterior teeth and incisal on anterior teeth. Surfaces nearest the junction of the crown and root are referred to as cervical, and those closest to the apex of the root are referred to as apical. The tissue surrounding apex is called periapical .

Infections of the tooth’s root can spread into the bloodstream or the surrounding jaw and tissues, which is why infections of a tooth’s root require prompt and thorough medical attention. Among permanent teeth, 16 are found in the maxilla and 16 in the mandible, for a total of 32. The dental formula is 2.1.2.3 2.1.2.3. Permanent human teeth are numbered in a boustrophedonic sequence.
