When a filled balloon is squeezed, the volume occupied by the air inside the balloon decreases. This is accompanied by an increase in the pressure exerted by the air on the balloon, as a consequence of Boyle’s law. As the balloon is squeezed further, the increasing pressure eventually pops it. An illustration describing the increase… Continue reading Examples of Boyle’s Law

Formula and Derivation
As per Boyle’s law, any change in the volume occupied by a gas (at constant quantity and temperature) will result in a change in the pressure exerted by it. In other words, the product of the initial pressure and the initial volume of a gas is equal to the product of its final pressure and… Continue reading Formula and Derivation
Boyle`s Law
What is Boyle’s Law? Boyle’s law is a gas law which states that the pressure exerted by a gas (of a given mass, kept at a constant temperature) is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by it. In other words, the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional to each other as long… Continue reading Boyle`s Law

Common tooth conditions
Your teeth perform many functions on a daily basis, which makes them susceptible to a variety of conditions. Cavities Tooth cavities are small holes caused by a buildup of bacteria and acid on the surface of a tooth. Left untreated, they can grow deeper into the tooth, eventually reaching the pulp. Cavities can cause pain, sensitivity… Continue reading Common tooth conditions
Crown
The crown of a tooth is the portion of the tooth that’s visible. It contains three parts: Anatomical crown. This is the top portion of a tooth. It’s usually the only part of a tooth that you can see. Enamel. This is the outermost layer of a tooth. As the hardest tissue in your body, it helps… Continue reading Crown
Neck
The neck, also called the dental cervix, sits between the crown and root. It forms the line where the cementum (that covers the root) meets the enamel. It has three main parts: Gums. Gums, also called gingiva, are the fleshy, pink connective tissue that’s attached to the neck of the tooth and the cementum. Pulp. Pulp is… Continue reading Neck
Structure and function
Root The root is the part of the tooth that extends into the bone and holds the tooth in place. It makes up approximately two-thirds of the tooth. It’s made up of several parts: Root canal. The root canal is a passageway that contains pulp. Cementum. Also called cement, this bone-like material covers the tooth’s root. It’s… Continue reading Structure and function
Types of teeth
Most people start off adulthood with 32 teeth, not including the wisdom teeth. There are four types of teeth, and each plays an important role in how you eat, drink, and speak. The different types include: Incisors. These are the chisel-shaped teeth that help you cut up food. Canines. These pointy teeth allow you to tear and… Continue reading Types of teeth
