Caries of the maxillary cheek teeth (CT) infundibulae is the most common type of dental caries identified in equidae. Clinical consequences of this progressive destruction of infundibular cementum, that occasionally extends to the adjacent enamel and dentine, include the development of midline sagittal CT fractures or apical infection, both of which can lead to intractable paranasal sinus infection. Infundibulae have evolved in the maxillary CT to increase the length of exposed enamel ridges on their occlusal surface for masticatory efficiency. Both infundibulae should be entirely filled with cementum [1]. During development, vasculature from the dental sac enters through the occlusal surface of the infundibulum, which intersects with vessels that enter through the apical aspect of the developing tooth to create one major blood vessel with side branches coursing through each infundibulum to support cemental deposition ...
