MICRO-MORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF TEETH AND AGE-RELATED CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

Abstract
This article analyzes the micro-morphological structure of the main dental tissues—enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp—their functional importance, and morphological changes occurring with aging. From a microscopic perspective, the cellular and fibrous structure of each tissue, their interrelations, as well as physiological and pathological changes are examined. Additionally, the diagnostic and therapeutic significance of age-related changes is discussed in the context of dental practice. The article holds scientific and practical value for students and professionals in gerontostomatology, therapeutic, and prosthetic dentistry.
