Question | Answer |
---|---|
Of what origin is the tissue that initiates tooth formation? | epithelial |
Within the tooth bud, which type of cells (origin) are present and what do they differentiate into? | epithelial cells: ameloblasts mesenchymal cells: odontoblasts + cementoblasts |
What initiates tooth formation? | Interaction between the ameloblasts and odontoblasts |
What component of the dental bud dictates the final shape of a tooth? | enamel organ (epithelial origin) |
From where is the blood supply of developing teeth derived? | dental sac |
in addition to the dental sac, where else does blood supply come from? | blood supply also perforates the apical aspect of the infundibulum in young equine cheek teeth and these apical infundibular blood vessels may remain for a couple of years after dental eruption THIS IS REFUTED BY INFUNDIBULAR HISTOMORPHIC STUDY DONE |

In which part of the horse mouth are chewing forces the greatest? why? 2009 J biomech | masticatory forces increased from rostral to caudal. due to distinct anatomical features of the equine dentition, i.e. the Curve of Spee, the position of the teeth, and the length of the mandible |
