Introduction:

Teeth play a vital role in mastication of the food. They tear and grind the food, hence, breaking it down into smaller parts. Humans have two sets of teeth: milk teeth (deciduous teeth) and permanent teeth. The teeth are further classified into four categories: incisors, canines, molars, and premolars. A tooth contains two main regions that are the root as well as the crown.
