a crown, neck, and well developed roots
What are the substances that brachydont teeth are made up of?
enamel, dentin, cement, pulp

enamel
What teeth are brachydont teeth in the horse and the ruminant?
the incisors and canines in cow, and the first premolars and canine in the horse
Characterize hypsodont teeth.
teeth with a high crown and short roots
What substances are the hyposodont teeth made up of?
cement, enamel, dentin, pulp
What does it mean when a hyposodont tooth is in wear?
the tooth begins to wear off its enamel later after eruption through the gums
In the horse and ruminant, what are the hypsodant teeth?
the premolars and molars (except the first premolar in the horse)
What is the clinical tooth?
the part of the tooth that has erupted from the gum line
What is the anatomical tooth?
the whole tooth; erupted and not erupted
What are the surfaces of the teeth?
occlusal, mesial, distal, buccal, labial, and lingual
What is the occlusal surface of the tooth?
surfaces that touches the teeth on the opposite arcade
What is the mesial surface of the tooth?
the surface of the tooth that is closest to the midline
What is the distal surface of the tooth?
the surface of the tooth that is the furthest away from the midline
What is the buccal surface of the tooth?
the surface of the tooth that faces the cheek
What is the labial surface of the tooth?
the surface of the tooth that faces the lips
What is the lingual surface of the tooth?
the surface of the tooth that faces the tongue
In the horse, how do the buccal parts of both arcades interact?
the upper arcade overlaps the buccal part of the lower arcade
In the horse how do the lingual parts of both arcades interact?
the lingual part of the lower arcade overlaps the lingual part of the upper arcade
