Dental Histology
Dental Histology is the study of the microscopic structure of teeth and their supporting tissues. It focuses on the organization and function of cells, tissues, and organs within the dental system, including enamel, dentin, pulp, and periodontal ligaments. Understanding these structures helps in diagnosing dental diseases and planning treatments.
This field combines aspects of anatomy, biology, and pathology to provide insights into how teeth develop, function, and respond to various conditions. By examining tissue samples under a microscope, dental professionals can identify abnormalities and better understand the health of a patient's mouth.
