Morphological examinations were performed on 100 normal equine cheek teeth (CT) of 1-12 years dental age (i.e. time since eruption), using gross examination, dissection microscopy, computerised axial tomography, and decalcified and undecalcified histology. The CT in Triadan 07-10 positions consistently had five pulp horns, but the 06 CT had an additional pulp horn more rostrally. Mandibular and maxillary Triadan 11s had six and seven pulp horns, respectively. Sections of CT taken 2-6mm below the occlusal surface (variation due to normal undulating occlusal surface) showed the presence of pulp in up to 50% of individual maxillary CT pulp horns, and in up to 25% of individual mandibular CT pulp horns. The histological appearances of primary and secondary dentine were described and it is proposed that the type of dentine present most centrally in every pulp chamber examined, currently termed tertiary dentine, should be re-classified as irregular secondary dentine, and that the term tertiary dentine be reserved for the focal areas of dentine laid down following insult to dentine or pulp.

Manual versus reciprocating endodontic debridement of equine cheek teeth: Micro-computed tomography findings.

Department of Large Animal Surgery, Anaesthesia and Orthopaedics, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.
Background: In orthograde endodontic treatments, different methods are available to debride the pulp canals of endodontically compromised equine cheek teeth, but their efficacy is unknown.
Objectives: To explore and compare the efficacy and anatomical changes caused by manual versus reciprocating filing techniques in equine cheek teeth, to explore the presence of instrumentation mishaps described in human dentistry and to explore anatomical complexities of the pulp cavity that often remain uninstrumented using microcomputed tomography (μCT).
Study Design: Ex-vivo randomised experiments.
A micro-CT study of the pulp cavity morphology of maxillary fourth premolar teeth in dogs.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze the endodontic anatomy of the dog's maxillary fourth premolar tooth (MxPM4), explore variations in its structure, and discuss its significance for dental treatments.
- - Using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), researchers examined ten teeth and found that the shape of the pulp chamber generally reflected the crown's morphology, with distinct pulp horns related to specific tooth structures but with variations found between them.
- - The findings suggest that the typical method for root canal treatment may be inadequate due to the angulated canals and varying canal orifice locations, highlighting previously undocumented anatomical features in canine teeth.
Controversial terminology in root and canal anatomy: A comprehensive review.

Discipline-specific terminology is a central element of the vocabulary used by dentists and scientists in the context of their professional activities and plays a critical role in the understanding of dentistry. A number of controversial terms and non-standardized definitions exist in the field of endodontology. For example, in root and canal anatomy, variations exist in the definitions of root morphology (including apical bifurcation, fusion and dilaceration), pulp chamber anatomy (including the outline of the floor, pulp horns and location of the root canal orifice), apical root canal bifurcations, canal isthmuses, accessory canals and apical foramen.

Neural crest cells (NCCs) are central to vertebrate embryonic development, giving rise to diverse cell types with unique migratory and differentiation capacities. This study examines the molecular characteristics of cranial neural crest cell (CNCC)-derived mesenchymal cells, specifically those from teeth which in deer show continuous but limited growth, and antlers, which exhibit remarkable regenerative capabilities. Here, through single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, we uncover shared gene expression profiles between adult antlerogenic and dental mesenchymal cells, indicating common developmental pathways.

Aim: To assess clinically and histologically the efficacy of TheraCal LC and Biodentine as Direct Pulp Capping agents.
Materials And Method: Sixty caries-free maxillary first premolar teeth which were scheduled for orthodontic extraction were selected for the study and were divided equally into Group 1 (Theracal LC) and Group 2 (Biodentine). Thermal and electric pulp testing was performed on the teeth to assess pulp vitality followed by tooth preparation to expose pulp horns under local anesthesia.
