Answer:

Enamel

(Not in the context of Health) Enamel is a glassy substance, usually opaque, applied by fusion to the surface of metal, pottery, etc., as an ornament or for protection. (Definition)

<h2>What are the different layers of the teeth?</h2>

The teeth consists of 3 layers known as: the Enamel, the Dentin, and the Pulp.

1. Enamel

2. Dentin

3. Pulp

Enamel: Since the enamel layer is the top layer of the teeth, it is also the toughest. It has the strength to endure the daily stresses of mastication (biting and chewing). Calcium phosphate minerals make up enamel. Although it is the toughest material, acid is one of its weaknesses. By maintaining proper oral hygiene, you may lessen the amount of acids that are created by the bacteria in your mouth when you ingest meals and beverages high in carbohydrates. These germs initially destroy the outermost layer, followed by the dentin, before reaching the pulp in the deepest layer, where they either cause irreparable damage or make a hole.

Dentin: It is a layer that sits just underneath the tooth's enamel layer. There are dentinal tubules in it. Dentin is less durable than enamel and has a yellowish color. It is substantially softer than enamel—nine times softer. Millions of small tubules called dentinal tubules, which make up the dentin, terminate in the pulp in the center of the tooth. It is preferable to see a dentist for treatment before the pulp is affected (innermost layer).

Pulp: The tooth's pulp is located in its middle. The pulp is a mass of connective tissue (CT) that is located in the core of the tooth, just below the dentin layer. It is the thinnest layer and contains the blood and nerves that are necessary for life. The only options for treatment are root canal therapy or extraction if tooth decay has spread to the dentin and pulp.
