    Oral Histology

    The study of the microscopic structure of oral tissues including enamel, dentine, pulp, and cementum.

    Dentine

    The tissue beneath enamel, softer than enamel, and contains microscopic tubules.

    Pulp

    The innermost part of the tooth, containing nerves and blood vessels, essential for tooth vitality.
