H3-HRP analysis of the nerve supply to primate teeth
Journal of Dental Research
|April 1, 1980
Abstract:
Sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia located in the head and neck of rhesus monkeys were histologically examined after injection of H3-HRP into the right mandibular premolars and molars. The results showed positive labeling of ganglionic cell bodies located in the ipsilateral trigeminal, superior cervical, and otic ganglia, plus the ipsilateral mesencephalic nucleus of the trigeminal nerve.

01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
