Abstract

Gross and radiographic anatomical study of the dental arch of buffalo revealed deeply and firmly anchored 6 incisors, 1 canine, 3 premolars and 3 molar in lower jaw and 3 premolar and 3 molar in the upper jaw. The morphometric and radiographic measurement of the crown length, root length, and total root length of the incisor and cheek tooth were observed. The length of root was 0.8 times than that of the crown for the incisor. The crown length, root length and total tooth length of the maxillary teeth was constantly more than that of the mandibular cheek tooth. The morphometric measurement of the crown length, root length and total tooth length were non-significantly higher than the radiographic measurement except second premolar of lower jaw and first premolar of upper jaw which was significantly differ at (P≤0.05).
