Anatomy and Development Flashcards
In Schrock’s 2013 study “Three-dimensional anatomy of equine incisors: tooth length, enamel cover and age related changes,” equine incisors reach their maximum length how many years post eruption, and after what tooth age does the tooth length start to decrease rapidly?
Staszyk BMC Veterinary Research 2013
Maximum length 2-4 years
decrease rapidly after 13-15 years
In Schrock’s 2013 study “Three-dimensional anatomy of equine incisors: tooth length, enamel cover and age related changes,” identations are present in the enamel of what surfaces of the teeth, and enamel reaches further apically on the labial or palatal sides of the teeth?
Staszyk BMC Veterinary Research 2013
Indentations: mesial and distal
Enamel reaches further on labial surface
In Schrock’s 2013 study “Three-dimensional anatomy of equine incisors: tooth length, enamel cover and age related changes,” what incisors are stat sig longer than the others in the upper and lower quadrants respectively?
Staszyk BMC Veterinary Research 2013
Upper: middle
Lower: corner
In Sahara’s 2014 paper “Development of Coronal Cementum in Hypsodont Horse Cheek Teeth,” this image of a mandibular fourth premolar occlusal surface is most consistent with what age horse?
The Anatomical Record 2014
3.5 years
In Sahara’s 2014 paper “Development of Coronal Cementum in Hypsodont Horse Cheek Teeth,” how was the resorption of enamel evaluated with histochemistry?
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
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?
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
In Omura’s 2015 paper “Measurement of Incisor Overjet and Physiological Diastemata Parameters in Quarter Horse Foals,” maximum growth of the maxillary and mandibular diastemata occured in what age group?
JVD 2015
4-5 months old
In Omura’s 2015 paper “Measurement of Incisor Overjet and Physiological Diastemata Parameters in Quarter Horse Foals,” overjets were most common in what sex of Quarter horses of what lineage?
JVD 2015
female Quarter horses of show lineage
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?
Anat Histol Embryology 2015
mesial root of M1 and the distal root of PM4
In the remaining 5% of the subjects examined (2 horses), a variation was found in the course of the nerve at this site → the IAN runs lingually and coronally as described above, but passes between the distal and the mesial roots of PM4 instead
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
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
According to Dixon 2010 what is the range of distance between between the occlusal surface and pulp tissue (depth of subocclusal secondary dentin) in a 4 year old vs 16 year old horse?
4 yro: 5-33mm
16 yro: 2-24mm
In Listmann’s 2017 paper “Occlusal Angles of Equine Incisors,” what significant differences in the left and right sides were observed for teeth in same triaden position and the jaws themselves respectively?
JVD 2017, Issue 4, Staszyk
No stat sig differences in angles for same triaden teeth positions right to left
Marked differences between left and right sides of upper and lower jaws
In Listmann’s 2017 paper “Occlusal Angles of Equine Incisors,” were the upper or lower bars most suitable to determine incisor angulations?
JVD 2017, Issue 4, Staszyk
Lower bars due to relatively straight profile vs curve of maxillary bars and facial crest
The TMJ and eyeball were not useful reference points
In Hole’s 2016 study “Dimensions of 65 Extracted Equine First Premolar Teeth,” what were the correlations between crown height and root length and total length?
JVD 2016
Crown height and crown width were either not correlated or poorly correlated with root length
Crown height was poorly correlated with total length
In Hole’s 2016 study “Dimensions of 65 Extracted Equine First Premolar Teeth,” what measurements were statistically significantly correlated?
JVD 2016
Total tooth length was correlated with root length
In Hole’s 2016 study “Dimensions of 65 Extracted Equine First Premolar Teeth,” what was the median total length and median root length?
JVD 2016
Median total length: 21mm
Median root length: 13mm
