Abstract

Experimental research on tooth development or odontogenesis is based very largely on the teeth of murine rodents (Butler 1967). Pioneering work by Shirley Glasstone on rat tooth germ cultures gave detailed information about structural, histological, and self-differentiating interactions of explants (Glasstone 1936). However, the dentition of the mouse and that of many other mammals is very different. Mice have highly specialized incisors, distinctive molar patterns, a small number of teeth, and they do not have tooth replacement (Butler 1967).
