Human tooth anatomy, artwork
Human tooth anatomy. Artwork of a cross-section through a human tooth to show its anatomical structure. The two main areas are the crown (above the gum-line) and the root (embedded in the gum). The tissue and mineral layers shown here include: enamel (purple, covering the crown), dentin (grey with black dots), the pulp (red), blood vessels and nerves (black, within pulp), cementum (purple, covering the root), connective tissue (yellow), and bone (black with white dots). Also shown is the root canal, the dark space between the two protrusions that form the tooths root

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate anatomy of a human tooth in stunning detail. A cross-section view reveals the complex structure that lies beneath the surface, showcasing both the crown and root regions. The crown, situated above the gum-line, is adorned with a protective layer of purple enamel, while grey dentin with black dots forms its core. Delving deeper into this dental masterpiece, we encounter the vibrant red pulp containing vital blood vessels and nerves essential for sensory perception. The root, embedded within the gum tissue, is covered by a purple cementum layer that safeguards it from external forces. Surrounding these key components are layers of connective tissue depicted in yellow hues and black bone speckled with white dots. Notably visible is the dark space known as the root canal—a crucial passageway between two protrusions forming part of the tooth's foundation. This remarkable illustration serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand dental anatomy on a profound level. It showcases how various tissues and minerals harmoniously coexist within this small but mighty organ responsible for chewing and maintaining oral health. Whether you're fascinated by biology or have an interest in dentistry, this print offers an enlightening glimpse into one of nature's marvels—the human tooth—captured beautifully through artistry and scientific precision courtesy of Science Photo Library.
