Tocio the hippo and the Aradicular Hypsodont Teeth
What Are the Aradicular Hypsodont teeth?
💡”Aradicular Hypsodont teeth”💡 is defined as the continuous growth of teeth. It is present in many animals such as 🦏 Hippos.
These ‘open-rooted’ teeth lack a true root and rely on constant growth to compensate for wear and tear. This type of hypsodont tooth, characterized by a high crown-to-root ratio, ensures a continuous supply of tooth material.
Tocio…The Hippo and the Aradicular Hypsodont Teeth
In the case of “Tocio”, a hippopotamus with a fractured upper incisor exposing the pulp, a vital pulpotomy was deemed necessary. This procedure involves removing the inflamed pulp tissue and sealing it with a biocompatible material to promote healing and preserve the tooth’s vitality.
📝 The Treatment Process
💉 Local anesthesia administration.
🗡️Careful removal of the diseased pulp using sterile dental instruments.
🥛 Thorough irrigation of the pulp chamber
📌Filling of the tooth with a biocompatible material like Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA).
🔭Acid etching, bonding agent application, and light curing.
🛡️ Restoration of the crown with composite material and final polishing.
Following the procedure, Tocio recovered well and quickly resumed normal feeding behavior.
