| Description | Tooth microstructure is an important factor in determining resilience against damage accumulation. It has specialized hierarchical structure starting from the smallest level to its final macrostructure. The load-bearing capacity of teeth is limited by the susceptibility of the enamel to fracture. However, tooth enamel is far from homogeneous and isotropic. The outer covering of the tooth is the enamel, the hardest substance of the human body. The second layer of tissue is the dentine. It is comparatively a much softer layer than enamel. It is bound to the hard enamel by a specialized layer, the dentine-enamel junction. Deeper inside, the tooth is composed of vascularized soft connective tissue—dental pulp (Figure 3.1) [1]. The surface layer of tooth root is a thin layer of bony material, the cementum.
