Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Teeth and bones look similar and share some commonalities, including being the hardest substances in your body. But teeth aren’t actually bone. This misconception might arise from the fact that both contain calcium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Teeth, like bones, contain calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals. But there’s one substance that teeth don’t have-collagen. Collagen is a type of protein, considered as “the glue that holds the body together”. Unlike a broken bone, a broken tooth cannot mend itself.
Detailed explanation-3: -Forensic anthropology deals with total skeletonized human remains, including bones and teeth.
