Radiopacity refers to the ability of a substance to absorb or block radiation, making it appear white or light on a radiograph. Enamel is the most radiopaque dental tissue, followed by dentin, then cementum, and finally, the pulp is the least radiopaque. This order reflects their density and mineral content, with enamel being the most mineralized and dense, and pulp being the least.
