What Are the Key Histological Structures in the Oral Cavity?
The oral cavity comprises various tissues, each with distinct histological features. Key structures include:
Enamel: The hardest tissue in the body, covering the tooth's crown. Dentin: A calcified tissue beneath the enamel, providing structural support. Pulp: The innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. Periodontium: The supporting structures around the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone.
