Q

In Sahara’s 2014 paper “Development of Coronal Cementum in Hypsodont Horse Cheek Teeth,” how was the resorption of enamel evaluated with histochemistry?

A

tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity as a marker for odontoclasts and their precursors using the azo-dye method

Study showed for the first time that prior to coronal cementogenesis TRAP-positive odontoclasts resorbed the enamel surface of the reserve crown in horse cheek teeth

Q

In Sahara’s 2014 paper “Development of Coronal Cementum in Hypsodont Horse Cheek Teeth,” what are the structural composition differences between infolding and peripheral cementum?

A

Infolding cementum: free from extrinsic collagen fibers (Sharpey’s fibers), cellular with abundant blood vessels, maintains occlusal surface
Peripheral cementum: contains Sharpey’s fibers and provides anchorage for PDL, tertiary cementum thickest in subgingival region

Secondary and tertiary cementum provides sites for insertion of the PDL

Q

In Iacopetti’s 2015 article on the mandibular nerve, in 95% (38 horses) of the subjects examined, the nerve changes direction between which roots of which teeth?

Q

In Suske et al’s paper “Infundibula of equine maxillary cheek teeth. Part 1: Development, blood supply and infundibular cementogenesis”, which cheek tooth infundibula has blood supply for longer in development?

The Vet Journal 2016

A

Distal infundibulum

Equine infundibula are assumed to represent extreme deep and large pits in between enamel cusps
According to this concept, the enamel organ invaginates from an occlusal direction and produces the infundibular enamel
Consequently, the dental follicle tissues (including blood vessels) have to follow the occlusal route to initiate the onset of infundibular cementogenesis.
After tooth eruption the afferent blood vessels are assumed to have been destroyed and therefore cementogenesis immediately stops
