The equine periodontium as a continuously remodeling system: morphometrical analysis of cell proliferation. The hypsodont equine cheek tooth erupts continuously throughout life. Tooth eruption is inevitably associated with a remodeling of the periodontium. One major process of remodeling in the PDL is cell proliferation. The aim of this study was to detect cell proliferation at different sites of the equine PDL in order to examine the dynamics of the periodontal cell population. Methods: Specimens from nine warm-blood horses were taken-- containing the PDL interposed between the cementum and the alveolar bone--at three designated levels: subgingival, middle, and apical. Cell proliferation was detect...
Distinct fibro-vascular arrangements in the periodontal ligament of the horse. The periodontal ligament (PDL) of the hypsodont cheek teeth of the horse meets specific requirements of tooth support: (1) to fix the tooth; (2) to withstand pressure and tension during the laterolateral mastication movement; (3) to restore the original tooth position. These requirements are assumed to be met by the periodontal collagen fiber apparatus and by the vascular system. Distinct fibro-vascular arrangements are described here in order to reveal the structural prerequisites for these distinct functions. Methods: Specimens from nine horses were processed for (1) collagen labeling with f...
