*The crown has dentin covered by enamel, and each root has dentin
covered by cementum.
*The inner part of the dentin of both crown and root also covers the
pulp cavity of the tooth.
*The pulp cavity has a pulp chamber, pulp canal (or canals) with an
apical foramen (or foramina), and possibly a pulp horn (or horns)

Orientational Tooth Terms: Mastication
The height of contour, or crest of curvature, is the greatest elevation of the tooth
either incisocervically or occlusocervically on a specific surface of the crown when
viewing its profile from the labial or buccal and the lingual.

Orientational Tooth Forms: Mastication
-Where 2 teeth come into contact (in the same arch), the curvatures
next to the contact areas form triangle shaped spaces considered
embrasures (seen from incisal or occlusal view)
