One of the eponyms most frequently cited in dental morphology texts, together with the Carabelli tubercle of the first permanent maxillary molars, is the Zuckerkandl tubercle of deciduous molars. However, references about Emil Zuckerkandl in the field of dental history and this particular entity are scarce. The reason this dental eponym was pushed "into the shadows" probably lies in the many other anatomical parts (including another tubercle, the pyramidal one of the thyroids), which took their names from this great anatomist.
在牙体形态学的教科书中，与上颌第一恒磨牙的卡氏尖一样，常被引用的牙体解剖学名词还有乳磨牙的锥结节。然而，在牙体解剖学史领域，以及这个特殊解剖名词，有关埃米尔·齐克尔坎德尔的参考资料却很少。这个牙体解剖学术语被“打入冷宫”的原因可能是这个伟大的解剖学家还命名了许多其他的解剖结构（包括另一个结节，即甲状腺的锥体）。
