This document will discuss and demonstrate: types of teeth and their location in bovine jaws, deciduous incisors versus permanent incisors, eruption times for deciduous and permanent teeth and using eruption times of permanent incisors to age cattle.
By knowing the ages in which teeth appear, the process for shedding of temporary, deciduous, or milk teeth and their replacement, and the usual effects of natu-ral wear, the approximate age of farm animals can be determined. However, proficiency comes with practice.
Cattle have thirty-two teeth, including six incisors or biting teeth and two canines in the front on the bottom jaw. The canine teeth are not pointed but look like incisors. The incisor teeth meet with the thick hard dental pad of the upper jaw.
The most appropriate teeth to estimate age in horses are the (lower) incisors. With continuous eruption, exposure of occlusal dentin and cementum is inevitable, leading to the presence of three alternate calcified tissues on the occlusal surface (see "Lower incisors, mare").
Periodontal disease: usually seen in older cattle, associated with an increased duration of time exposed to risk factors; Tooth root abscesses: young / growing cattle are over-represented. This is often associated with shedding of deciduous teeth.
12 Νοε 2013 · New work is presented regarding the estimation of age at death in cattle based on the teeth. For younger cattle, before all the teeth are fully in wear, mandible stages are based on the eruption events, subdivided using wear on the most recently erupted tooth.
Dental Anatomy in Cattle. Dentition is the development of teeth within the mouth. A schematic of a bovine skull is shown in Figure. 1 to depict the locations of the three major teeth types: incisors, premolars, and molars. The incisors appear toward the front of the mouth and only on the bottom jaw. Figure 1.
