Study Notes
Dental Anatomy
- The alveolar process is a thickened ridge of jawbone that contains the sockets of the teeth.
- The fibrous attachment of the tooth cementum to the alveolar bone is called the periodontal ligament.
- The surface of posterior teeth towards the cheeks is called the buccal surface.
Tooth Structure
- Crowns of anterior teeth have four or five surfaces.
Anatomy Terms
- The term 'lingual/palatal' refers to the surface of teeth or any other oral structure towards the tongue or palate.
Chemistry
- Biochemistry is the branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.
- The purpose of catabolism in metabolism is to break down molecules to obtain energy.
- Anabolism is the type of chemical reaction that involves the synthesis of all compounds needed by the living system.
- A mixture consists of two or more different substances that are physically combined.
- Chemistry is the scientific study of the composition, properties, and reactions of matter.
- Catabolism is the type of chemical reaction that involves the breakdown of molecules to obtain energy.
- Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.
