External structure of a tooth with position and direction
Upper and lower incisor
Upper and lower canine
Upper and lower premolar
Upper and lower molar

Each tooth is basically made up of the tooth crown and one or several tooth roots. The dental neck is located at the transition between the tooth crown and root. Blood and lymph vessels as well as nerves pass through a small opening (foramen apicale) to the inside of the tooth.

Coronal means "at the tooth's crown", cervical means "at the dental neck" and radicular means "at the root". The dental area "at the root tip" is called apical.
