odontogenic papilla in dogs

A condensation of odontoblasts that forms the part of a tooth germ that gives rise to dentin and pulp in the mature tooth. It lies below a cellular aggregation known as the enamel organ. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the odontogenic papilla is

A condensation of odontoblasts that forms the part of a tooth germ that gives rise to dentin and pulp in the mature tooth. It lies below a cellular aggregation known as the enamel organ. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the odontogenic papilla is

It sits in the head. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the odontogenic papilla connects to

The atlas records 10 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. a kind of anatomical entity, anatomical structure and mesenchyme, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the odontogenic papilla. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as odontogenic condensation, pharyngeal tooth mesenchyme, dental papilla, dentinal papilla, dermal papilla and papilla dentis, and 1 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the odontogenic papilla the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
