Overview

Human teeth are the hard, calcified structures in the mouth used for biting, chewing, and grinding food, and they also contribute to speech and facial structure. Each tooth consists of a crown above the gum and roots anchoring it within the jaw, built from enamel, dentin, cementum, and an inner pulp containing nerves and blood vessels. Teeth are susceptible to decay, injury, and disease, which can lead to pain, infection, or tooth loss, making their care central to oral and overall health. This peer-reviewed, open-access research collection includes work on the structure, preservation, and restoration of teeth. A published study has addressed the storage of lesion-free tooth morphology to support biomorphic dental restoration design, capturing natural tooth form to guide reconstruction. Additional research has examined anatomical risk factors associated with tooth extraction and placement in the posterior maxilla, reflecting practical concerns in dental treatment. Together with the journal's broader focus on dentistry and oral implants, this material spans tooth anatomy, restoration, and the management of tooth loss, offering readers a grounded reference on human teeth and the clinical science devoted to preserving and restoring them.
