A tooth is formed from the tooth germ, an aggregation of cells, which is organized into three parts: the enamel organ, the dental papilla, and the dental sac or follicle. From: Archives of Oral Biology, 2017 About this pageSet alert ...
The non-human hominids and cercopithecoids share the 2123 dental formula (two incisors, one canine tooth, two premolars and three molars) and the translating TMJs, the combination of which seems to be necessary for the efficient class 2 leverage of vertical bite force to the BAT-area. The...
Also, as used herein, the phrase “substantially permanent” as it is used pertaining to the bond between the tooth (either enamel or dentin) and an composition according to the present invention, or to the bond provided by the composition between a tooth and another dental material, e.g.,...
cause the undesired discoloration. These polishing agents also microabrade the tooth so as to polish the teeth to give the enamel a more lustrous appearance and a higher optical sheen. This microabrasion action enhances the scrubbed teeth's ability to reflect white light and thereby appear ...
(SEPs; which combine etchant and primer to avoid the need to wash the etchant away) may also be used. Resin-modified glass ionomer cements, which release and uptake fluoride in an attempt to prevent enamel demineralisation, are also available. These newer systems, however, are not as ...
Under masticatory load, the maximum displacement induced in a normal tooth has been represented inFigure 5a. The maximum displacement was observed at the incisal edge (i.e., under the enamel), which was estimated as 0.0000332±±1.66 × 10−5mm. The maximum displacement across the enamel sta...

Figure 4. Using the enamel filter. Because the densities of enamel and bone components are relatively close, this model was loaded into the Geomagic X program for processing, as shown in Figure 5. Through processing, the primary geometry was transformed into triangular surfaces. Initially, the ...
