What else can I help you with?
Each tooth is surrounded by specialized mucous membrane known as the?
gingiva (gums)
What salivary gland has an opening that is easily noted because of a high elevation of mucous membrane?
The salivary gland with an easily noted opening due to a prominent elevation of the mucous membrane is the parotid gland. The duct of the parotid gland, known as Stensen's duct, opens into the oral cavity at the second upper molar tooth, creating a noticeable papilla. This distinct elevation makes it easy to identify the gland's ductal opening during oral examinations.
What attaches the tooth to the periodontal membrane?
cementum
What is the membrane that anchors the tooth to the jaw?
The "membrane that links a tooth the the bone of the jaw is called periodontal ligament. It is made of fibrous tissue arranged in groups of collagen fibres.
What is air in the membrane of the face after tooth pulled?
That is a rare complication called "subcutaneous emphysema".
What is a dental organ?
The term "dental organ" simply refers to the tooth and to the tissues that make up the tooth while it is still becoming a tooth. There are cells that produce enamel, dentin, and cementum, all specialized components necessary for the formation of the tooth.
What material attaches the periodontal membrane to the tooth?
The periodontal ligament attaches the tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone. This ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that helps support the tooth and allows for slight movement during chewing or other forces applied to the tooth.
Is dentin the specialized connective tissue that forms the teeth?
Yes, dentin is a specialized connective tissue that makes up the majority of a tooth's structure. It lies beneath the enamel and surrounds the pulp of the tooth. Dentin is responsible for providing support and protection to the pulp.
Poison tooth of a snake is called as?
the poison tooth of a snake is called a thrike.
A tooth specialized for grinding is?
A tooth specialized for grinding is called a molar. Molars have a broad and flat surface with multiple cusps, which allows them to effectively break down food into smaller particles during chewing. These teeth are located at the back of the mouth, where they play a crucial role in the digestive process by grinding food before it is swallowed.
Is the pulp located in the roof portion of the tooth?
nope ... pulp is located in the core region of the tooth .... it is the only soft tissue present in the tooth structure and it is surrounded by a (from inside to out) layer of dentin and enamel in crown and that of dentin and cementum in root region.... the portion of tooth visible in the cavity is called crown clinically and that invisible is called root n pulp may get exposed early because of pulp horns
What is the cause of cementum?
Cementum is a specialized calcified tissue that forms the outer covering of tooth roots. It is produced by cementoblasts, which are cells derived from the dental follicle during tooth development. The primary function of cementum is to anchor the periodontal ligament fibers, helping to secure the tooth within the alveolar bone. Additionally, cementum plays a role in tooth repair and adaptation to occlusal forces.
