Which of the following is the largest dental tissue?

Dentin

The correct answer is Option (1)- Dentin

A thick dentin layer forms the bulk of dental mineralized dental tissues. Dentin is capped by a crown made of highly mineralized and protective enamel, and in the root, it is covered by cementum, a structure implicated in the attachment of the teeth to the bony socket. Teeth contain in their central parts dental pulps, which are usually non-mineralized. This soft connective tissue also contains nerves and a vascular network connected with the surrounding tissues, the periodontal ligament and the bony socket.

Enamel: It is a calcified tissue and is the hardest substance in the human body, composed of hydroxyapatite crystals (calcium and phosphate ions).

Dental Pulp: this is a soft tissue forms the tooth’s inner core, containing the blood vessels and nerves.

Cementum: It forms a tough, protective covering of the root of the tooth, anchoring in the jaw bone .
