Part of the tooth covered with enamel.

The crown is the part of the tooth that is covered by enamel.

Explanation:

In the constitution of the tooth four distinct areas can be visualized: the enamel, the dentine, the cement and the pulp. The tooth has a part that comes out of the gums and another that is inside them. The visible outer part of the tooth that is covered by the enamel is called the crown. If it is broken or deteriorated for any reason, it does not have the possibility of self-reconstruction, so the dentist's intervention becomes essential.

Enamel coats the crown of the tooth and is quite hard, as it is the most mineralized tissue found anywhere in the human body. About 96% of its composition is mineralized material, while the remaining 4% is composed of water and organic materials. The thickness of the enamel, in turn, varies from the tip of the crown to the amelio-cementary junction. In the crown, the thickness is greater and decreases as you approach the gum.
