Abstract

The tooth root plays a crucial role in maintaining tooth stability, supporting masticatory function, and preserving the integrity of surrounding oral tissues. The physiological properties of tooth roots are determined by their anatomical structure, periodontal attachment, sensory innervation, and adaptive responses to functional loads. This article reviews the physiological characteristics of tooth roots, their biological functions, and their significance in oral health. Particular attention is given to the role of cementum, periodontal ligament, vascularization, and neural regulation in maintaining normal tooth function. Understanding these physiological properties is essential for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental diseases.
