  • The Mouth

DEF

Having high or deep crowns and short roots ...

CONT

Routine dental care is important due to the unique structure and function of horses’ teeth. Horses have a combination of brachydont and hypsodont teeth. The simple(brachydont) teeth are the first premolars(wolf tooth) and canines that have a distinct crown and root, but have no function for the domestic horse. The incisors and molars(cheek teeth) are hypsodont, like the molars of ruminants(cows, goats and sheep etc). This type of tooth has a large body that continues to erupt into the horse's mouth as they are worn down by fibrous feed material. Most of the tooth is below the gum line in younger horses and continues to develop as it enters the mouth.

Subject field(s)
  • Mammals
Universal entry(ies)
CONT

Zapus trinotatus(Rhoads).... The Pacific jumping mouse is considered to be the most primitive of the three species in its genus because of its relatively large and functional upper premolar at the front of the cheek tooth row.... This species is the brightest of the three. It has a broad, dark olive brown band extending from nose to rump. The cheeks and flanks are ochraceous or tawny, streaked with black hairs and bordered on the ventral side by a narrow orange strip.

OBS

A mammal of the family Dipodidae (or Zapodidae).

Domaine(s)
  • Mammifères
Entrée(s) universelle(s)
CONT

La prémolaire supérieure fonctionnelle et assez développée, placée devant la rangée de dents jugales, fait de la Souris sauteuse du Pacifique la plus primitive des trois espèces du genre. [...] Une large rayure brun olive foncé orne le dos, du nez jusqu'à la croupe. Les joues et les flancs sont ocres ou fauves, zébrés de poils noirs et bordés d'une étroite rayure orangée sur les côtés du ventre, qui est blanc, avec des taches jaunâtres sur la poitrine.

OBS

Mammifère de la famille des Dipodidae (ou Zapodidae).

OBS

zapode du Pacifique : zapode remplace souris-sauteuse afin d'alléger le nom, de marquer la différence de cette famille (Dipodidae) distincte, et de restreindre autant que possible le mot souris à la famille des Muridae.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prosthetic Dentistry
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
CONT

A device which holds a cotton roll on each side of the lower arch in order to keep the tooth dry is called a self-retaining cotton-roll holder. Each holder uses two cotton rolls.... The upper arch is kept dry by inserting the cotton roll between the cheek and arch. A cotton roll is not required on the lingual side of the upper arch.

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Les absorbants. Les rouleaux de papier ou de coton hydrophile [...] se placent principalement au niveau des orifices excréteurs des glandes salivaires. La tenue des cotons peut être rendue aléatoire par les mouvements du patient; un système de blocage doit être envisagé : l'automation peut servir à bloquer les cotons au maxillaire inférieur, les clamps de Haller, les crampons à ailettes d'Ivory, divers porte-cotons (Martin...).

Record 5 1977-11-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mammals
CONT

The distinction between premolars and molars is sometimes unsatisfactory.... [It is therefore] often convenient to speak of these teeth collectively [and call a molar or a premolar a] cheek tooth.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mammifères
CONT

La "dent jugale", [que l'on retrouve chez les Mammifères,] située à l'arrière des arcades dentaires, au niveau des joues, a généralement plusieurs racines et une couronne complexe, plurituberculée, adaptée à sa fonction masticatrice. [Les dents jugales]se divisent en prémolaires et molaires.
