Dentinogenesis is a crucial process in tooth development starting at the cusp tips as odontoblasts differentiate and begin collagen production. Factors like TGF, IGF, and BMP play key roles in organizing odontoblast cytoskeleton assembly. Odontoblasts take up calcium, maintain high concentrations, a

The formation of Hertwig's Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS) is crucial in determining the shape, length, and number of roots in teeth. It initiates the formation of radicular dentin, marking the beginning of root development after enamel and dentin formation. HERS consists of outer and inner enamel epi

Root formation plays a crucial role in the development of teeth, starting after enamel and dentin formation at the cementoenamel junction. Hertwig's epithelial root sheath (HERS) molds the shape of roots, initiating radicular dentin formation. The cervical loop forms an epithelial diaphragm, narrowi

The histology of the digestive system in domestic animals, specifically focusing on the teeth and their structures, including short (brachydont) and long (hypsodont) types. Details include the composition of enamel, dentine, cementum, and dental pulp, highlighting the differences in tooth morphology

Dentition refers to the arrangement of teeth in the upper and lower jaw of mammals. Most mammals have specialized teeth, with some exceptions like the Platypus and Baleen whales. The structure of a mammalian tooth includes the crown, root, and neck, made up of dentine, enamel, and cement. Tooth deve
