Dental TissuesDentin
Three classifications:
Primary dentin forms the initial shape of the tooth.
Secondary dentin is deposited after the formation of the primary dentin on all
internal aspects of the pulp cavity.
Tertiary dentin, or reparative dentin is formed by replacement odontoblasts in
response to moderate-level irritants such as attrition, abrasion, erosion, trauma,
moderate-rate dental caries, and some operative procedures.

The tongue is a mass of striated muscle covered with mucous
membrane
The tongue is divided by a median fibrous septum
Mucous membrane
Upper surface:
- V-shaped groove called sulcus terminalis divides upper surface
into ant. 2/3 and post. 1/3
- Upper surface of ant. 2/3 of tongue contains tongue papillae
- Tongue papillae are filiform, fungiform, foliate and vallate
Lower surface: has no papillae and therefore smooth
Tongue papillae are filiform, fungiform and vallate
filiform: cone-shaped and no taste buds, threadlike and
scaly, whitish appearance
fungiform: mushroom-shaped with few taste buds, red in
appearance
Foliate: small lateral folds of mucosa with few taste buds
vallate: largest,8-12 in number, many taste buds on lateral
walls
Taste buds contain: taste cells (sensory bipolar neurons),
supporting cells and basal cells
1. Body of the Mandible
1) alveolar arch
2) mental protuberance
3) mental foramen
4) mental spine
2. Ramus of the Mandible
1) coronoid process
2) condylar process
a. head of mandible
b. neck of mandible
A muscular structure in oral cavity and covered
by mucous membrane.
Divided into 2 parts:-
Oral movable part
Pharyngeal non - movable part
It separated into halves by median fibrous
septum.
Each half consist of identical complement of
extrinsic & intrinsic muscles.
The tongue mobility is greatly aided by its
attachment to mandible, styloid process and
hyoid bone.
Functions of tongue :-
Mastication
Taste
Talking
Deglutition(swallowing)
Pappilae :-
A projection of lamina propria covered by stratified
squamous epithelium.
Most contain taste buds receptor for gustation.
Some lack taste bud but contain receptors for touch .
It also increase friction between tongue ang food
making easier for tongue to move food in oral cavity,
The muscles of the tongue belong to two groups:
intrinsic
extrinsic.
Intrinsic muscles lie entirely within the tongue; that is their origin
and insertions are inside the tongue. There are four groups of
them:
Superior
Inferior longitudinal
Transverse or horizontal
Vertical
The extrinsic tongue muscles are those that continue
beyond the tongue, anchoring it to other structures.
There are four pairs of them:
Genioglossus attaches the tongue to the
mandible, the jaw bone
Hyoglossus attaches the tongue to the hyoid
bone in the neck
Styloglossus attaches the tongue to the styloid
process, a protrusion from the temporal bone, one
of the skull bones
Palatoglossus attaches the tongue to the palate
For extrinsic muscles :-
Genioglossus helps to protrude the tongue, depress the
central part of tongue making it concave, and move the
tongue to the opposite side
Hyoglossus helps to depress the tongue
Styloglossus helps to pull the tongue upwards and
backwards to aid swallowing
Palatoglossus pulls the soft palate onto the tongue
while swallowing
For intrinsic muscles, their function is alter the shape and size of
the tongue for speech and swallowing.
Superior longitudinal shortens and curls the tongues apex
upward.
Inferior longitudinal shortens and curls the tongues apex
downward.
Transverse narrow lengthens.
Vertical broadens flattens.

The teeth have the most important role &
the hardest structure in human's jaws. Helps
us in speaking, chewing properly and
deglutition of food.
To perform these functions the jaws have
powerful muscles capable of providing an
occlusive force between upper & lower
teeth.
Besides that, provided with projections &
facets that interdigitate, so that the upper
set of teeth fits with the lower. This fitting is
called occlusion.

Canines:
They are thick and come to a single sharp point, ideal for
ripping and tearing at foods that might be tough, such as
meat, and for piercing and holding.
Premolars:
They have sharp points for piercing and ripping, but they also
have a broader surface for chewing and grinding.
Molars:
Molars are large teeth with broad surfaces designed for
crushing, grinding and chewing food.

The zygoma appears as a U-shaped radiopaque line with the round portion
superimposing the area of the first and second molars. Depending on the
angle in which the x-ray beam passes through the zygoma, it will vary in
size, width, and definition.
The nasolabial fold may appear as an oblique line traversing the premolar
region. The line of contrast is well-defined and the area of increased
radiopacity is caused by the superimposition of the cheek tissue. This
feature increases with age and can be used to identify the side of the
maxilla if the area is edentulous.
The medial and lateral pterygoid plates lying immediately posterior to the
maxillary tuberosities have a variable appearance(another view of the
pterygoid plates), often not being visible at all. Typical appearance is a
single radiopaque shadow with no trabecular pattern. The hamulus may be
seen extending inferiorly from the medial pterygoid plate and does show
trabecular pattern.
