fogszövetek

Fogszövetek refers to the tissues of the tooth. These are specialized structures that form and support a tooth. The primary tissues are enamel, dentin, cementum, and the dental pulp. Enamel is the hard, outermost layer of the tooth crown, primarily composed of hydroxyapatite, making it the hardest substance in the human body. It protects the underlying dentin from wear and decay. Dentin forms the bulk of the tooth, lying beneath the enamel and cementum. It is less mineralized than enamel and contains microscopic tubules that transmit sensory information and nutrients. Cementum covers the root surface of the tooth, providing an attachment point for the periodontal ligament. The dental pulp is the innermost tissue, a soft connective tissue containing blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels. It nourishes the tooth and provides sensation. Together, these tissues function to chew food, speak, and maintain the structure of the jaw. Damage to these tissues can lead to sensitivity, pain, and tooth loss. Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for preserving the health of fogszövetek.
