The structure, kind, number and arrangement of teeth are collectively called dentition.<br>

STRUCTURE OF TEETH Root - It is the basal part embedded in the bony socket of jaw.
Neck - it is the part above the root enclosed by the gum.
Crown - It is the upper part beyond the surface of the gum
I) Pulp cavity: The entire tooth encloses a central pulp cavity surrounded by a layer of odontoblast cells filled with soft pulp. It is made up of connective tissue, blood vessels and nerve fibers.
II) Dentin: A substance chemically similar to bone- dentine forms the major part of the tooth. But the dentine is permeated by numerous thin canaliculi.
III) Enamel: It is present over the de in the crown and neck regions of the tooth. It is hardest and contains only traces of living matter.
IV) Cement: It surrounds the denting of the root portion of the tooth. It is bony in nature.<br>
