Abstract

An ayurveda has eight branches of specialisation. Out of which the one in which the details of diseases , medical and surgical treatment of eye, ear , mouth, throat are described, is called shalakya¹.There are no direct references or detail description of tooth anatomy in ayurvedic samhita. Tooth is considered as a pratyanga(~sub organ) of mukha . This article is an attempt to compile the scattered references from ayurvedic samhita and establish the concept of danta sharir (~dental anatomy) . This is also a sincere effort to focus the different scientific terminologies, facts, observations made by our ancient acharya related with danta.

Key word

Danta, shaarira, anatomy of tooth, ayurvedic samhita.
