Tooth dentine, SEM
Tooth dentine. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of dentine from a milk tooth. The bulk of a tooth is formed of dentine, a mineralised connective tissue with a similar composition to bone. Within the dentine are channels, called tubules (yellow), that contain odontoblasts, cells that produce new dentine. The arrangement of the tubules is less regular in milk teeth, or deciduous teeth, than it is in permanent teeth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of tooth dentine, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the vibrant colors and detailed structures that make up this mineralized connective tissue. Dentine forms the bulk of a tooth and shares a similar composition to bone, making it an essential component for dental health. Within this dense tissue are channels known as tubules, depicted in striking yellow hues. These tubules house odontoblasts, specialized cells responsible for producing new dentine. The arrangement of these tubules is less regular in milk teeth or deciduous teeth compared to permanent teeth. This distinction adds another layer of fascination to the photograph, highlighting the unique characteristics found within different stages of dental development. As we explore this mesmerizing image further, we gain insight into the complex anatomy and biology behind our pearly whites. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected our bodies truly are, with even our smallest components holding incredible intricacy. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into nature's wonders through their expertly captured SEM imagery. This print not only showcases scientific excellence but also invites us to appreciate the hidden beauty that lies within our own bodies.
