AI overview

A tooth is a hard, calcified structure in the jaws of many vertebrates that primarily breaks down food, though some animals also use teeth to capture prey, tear food, or defend themselves. Teeth are made of multiple tissues of varying density rather than bone, with their roots covered by gums.

I denti (dal latino dentes) sono organi durissimi che si trovano all'interno del cavo orale. La funzione primaria dei denti (la dentatura) è quella della masticazione, oltre quella fonetica ed estetica.Nei mammiferi le radici dei denti sono coperte dalle gengive. Il processo di formazione dei denti è chiamato odontogenesi e inizia in fasi piuttosto precoci successive al concepimento.
