<P> The term `` crown '' of a tooth can be used in two ways . The term `` anatomic crown '' of a tooth refers to the area above the cementoenamel junction ( CEJ ) or `` neck '' of the tooth . It is completely covered in enamel . The term `` clinical crown '' often is convenient in referring to any part of the tooth visible in the mouth , but as a rule the unqualified term `` crown '' refers to the anatomic crown . The bulk of the crown is composed of dentin , with the pulp chamber within . The crown is enclosed within bone before the tooth erupts , but after eruption the crown is almost always visible in an anatomically normal and clinically healthy mouth . </P>
