Description

This detailed anatomical image shows early signs of food-induced pigmentation and plaque accumulation on the tooth surfaces. The yellowish tint on the enamel—particularly visible near the gum line and between teeth—suggests the presence of extrinsic stains, likely from dietary chromogens such as coffee, tea, and others. These pigmented deposits adhere to the pellicle layer and can gradually intensify if oral hygiene is inadequate. This visual is particularly useful in educational settings to demonstrate how lifestyle factors and daily hygiene habits influence oral health and the appearance of the teeth.
