In the mandibular arch, the first premolars (305, 405) have 1 root; the second, third, and fourth premolars (306–308, 406–408) and the first and second molars (309, 310, 409, 410) have 2 roots; and the third molars (311, 411) have 1 root.
Oct 9, 2016 · Mandible. The lower jaw is known as the mandible . It is connected to the maxilla by a hinge joint called the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The two mandibles are fused together at the mandibular symphysis. The tongue lies between the two mandibles, and the structures and surfaces beneath the tongue are referred to as sublingual.
Jul 5, 2017 · Teeth are a conical structure situated in opposing rows within the oral cavity. 1 They are hard and intensely calcified papillae, white or slightly yellowish, implanted in the jaw’s bone alveoli. 2 Teeth are formed by two parts: one contained within the alveolo and other outside it.

Rostral refers to a structure closer to, or in a direction toward, the most forward structure of the head. Caudalrefers to a structure closer to, or in a direction toward, the tail. The retained deciduous canine in Photo 1 is caudal to the adult canine. Photo 1
The mesial surface of the first incisor is next to the median plane; on other teeth it is the surface directed toward the first incisor (the surface adjacent to the tooth in front of it). The distalsurface is opposite from the mesial surface. Photo 2A Mesial and distal are labeled in Photos 2A and 2B. The mesial root of the maxillary fourth premola...
The surface of a mandibular or maxillary tooth facing the tongue is the lingual surface. Palatalcan also be used when referring to the lingual surface of maxillary teeth. Vestibular is the correct term referring to the surface of the tooth facing the vestibule or lips; buccal and labialare acceptable alternatives. Photo 3A Lingual, palatal, vestibu...
The maxillary fourth premolar has three roots — the mesiobuccal, mesiopalatal and distal. In dogs, the maxillary first molar tooth has three roots — the mesiobuccal, distobuccal and palatal. Photo 4A The mesiobuccal root of the left maxillary fourth premolar in Photo 4A is fractured. The palatal root of the maxillary first molar in Photo 4B is disc...
Aug 15, 2020 · The mandibular processes grow rostrally, forming the mandible and merging at the mandibular symphysis, which in the dog and cat normally remains a fibrous union throughout life. The paired maxillary processes form most of the maxillae, incisive, and palatine bones.
In the mandible, the incisors and canines have one root and the other teeth have two roots. In the cat, the only tooth with three roots is the upper fourth premolar. The upper and lower incisors and canines have one root, and the remaining teeth have two roots [12,14,24,28] .
