Portion of tooth embedded in bone?
Enamel (outer part, hard), dentin (under enamel), pulp (center, where most nerves are), cementum (covers root of tooth)
What do the roots of teeth consist of?
The roots of teeth consist of dentin, cementum, and the pulp chamber. Dentin is a hard tissue that makes up most of the tooth structure, while cementum covers the root surface. The pulp chamber contains nerves and blood vessels that provide nourishment and sensation to the tooth.
What are the four layers of tissue in are teeth?
