Are teeth considered human tissue?

I am doing a science fair project, and need to know if teeth are human tissue so that I can get the correct forms.

Are teeth considered human tissue?
WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS, YES!


TEETH are stuctures made of tissues.





A tooth has enamel, dentin, cementum, and dental pulp. All of those parts are made up of CELLS structure.


%26gt;%26gt; Enamel is formed by epithelial cells.


%26gt;%26gt; Dentin is a living tissue undergoing cell processes from the pulp creating new dentin and mineralizing it.


%26gt;%26gt;Cementum is the bonelike tissue that covers the roots of the teeth in a thin layer.


%26gt;%26gt; The dental pulp is the soft tissue of the tooth, which develops from the connective tissue of the dental papilla.

Reply:Teeth are bone.
Reply:I would think they are, yes.
Reply:no
Reply:No teeth are bone
Reply:yes. being layered in cell structure and formed within calcium, they would qualify. their structure is somewhat different than skin and bone but layered nonetheless.
Reply:Of course, teeth are human tissue. It contains our DNA. Teeth are not bone.
Reply:I would think so...
Reply:I am pretty sure they are.I read an article on the stem cells from baby teeth being used to repair human tissue.
Reply:teeth are %26quot;structures%26quot; made up of four different layers of human tissue:





enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp





So teeth are made from human tissue, but are maybe not classed as tissue themselves?! make any sense... I like it how Wiki refers to them as structures the whole way through.
