The anatomical crown is the part covered by enamel.It remains mostly constant throughout the life of the tooth,except for attrition and other physical wear.The clinical crown is that part of the anatomical crown that is visible and not covered by the gingiva.Its height is determined by the location of the marginal gingiva.The clinical crown of a tooth can change over time,especially with gingival recession as the marginal gingiva recedes toward the root.The anatomical root is that part of the root covered by cementum.The clinical root of a tooth is that part of the anatomical root that is visible and subject to variability over time,again related to gingival recession.
