Objectives

The prime objective of this lecture is to introduce the dental terminology and its application

Page 3: Dental Terminology

Learning nomenclature is the first and very Learning nomenclature is the first and very important step in understanding dental anatomy. important step in understanding dental anatomy.

Crown is covered with enamel and root is covered Crown is covered with enamel and root is covered with cementum. The crown and root join at the with cementum. The crown and root join at the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) which is also called cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) which is also called the cervical line. The junction of cementum and the cervical line. The junction of cementum and dentine is called cemento-dentinal junction. The dentine is called cemento-dentinal junction. The junction of dentine and enamel is called junction of dentine and enamel is called dentinoenamel junction (DEJ).dentinoenamel junction (DEJ).
