Age detection by radiography in Hereford cross Friesian steers.

The mandibles of 78 Hereford cross Friesian steers all showing a full complement of temporary teeth were examined both visually and by radiography to determine whether it was possible to differentiate their various ages. All but one animal were slaughtered at the same weight (1020 lb-464 kg) and their ages at slaughter ranged from 1 year 3 months to 1 year 9 months. Differences were found between the mean ages for stages of resorption of the first temporary incisor roots, stages of first permanent incisor root formation and stages of second incisor crown formation, as determined by radiographic inspection. The results indicated that the age of a group of animals could be defined, but the age range within each development stage meant that it was not possible to define the age of individual cattle.

Dental eruption patterns in Parapithecidae (Primates, Anthropoidea).

Radiographic analysis of mandibular fragments of the Oligocene primates Apidium phiomense and Parapithecus grangeri provides sequences of postincisor development and eruption. Although retaining the premolar eruption sequence (P2 leads to P4 leads to P3), the parapithecids possessed the derived feature of delayed canine appearance which, with other characters of cranial and postcranial morphology, aligns them with Anthropoidea and not Prosimii or platyrrhines.

Fluoride concentrations in unerupted fluorotic human enamel.

Unerupted fluorotic human enamel was obtained from teeth surgically removed from patients with dental fluorosis. Fluoride was measured in samples produced by serial acid etching from the surface to the interior of blocks of buccal and lingual enamel. The severity of fluorosis, according to the TF index, was determined from the macroscopic and microradiographic appearance of the specimens. The shape of the fluoride profiles was not affected by the degree of severity of fluorosis, but the fluoride concentrations increased with increasing severity of lesions. Fluoride concentrations were similar to those previously recorded in erupted fluorotic enamel and were not related to the length of time the teeth had been present in the jaws. It was concluded that the fluoride content of erupted fluorotic enamel represents fluoride acquired during tooth formation and that further uptake prior to eruption may be negligible.
