Teeth and Periodontal Apparatus

Beautiful teeth are important for our self-esteem. They facilitate communication and interaction with our fellow human beings. Enjoyment of life, well-being and the feeling of one’s own attractiveness are significantly influenced by the beauty of the teeth.

Teeth are significantly protected in their preservation by the periodontium!

The periodontium is the functional anchoring system of the tooth. It consists of:

  • Gums (gingiva propria).
  • Dental cement (Cementum)
  • Tooth compartment (Alveolus)
  • Root skin (desmodont or periodontium)
