The roles of the gubernaculum dentis, root formation, tooth crown and dental follicle in prefunctional eruption of a mandibular premolar have been studied in nine beagle dogs by radiographic and histologic evaluations of the effects of surgical ablation or removal of these structures on tooth eruption. The dental follicle was the only one of these structures required for the coordinated enlargement of the eruption pathway and formation of bone in the base of the bony crypt, the radiographic and histologic hallmarks of tooth eruption. These data, together with the topographic relationships of the dental follicle to areas of localized bone resorption and formation, are interpreted to mean that the dental follicle may influence, if not coordinate, these processes in tooth eruption.
通过对九只比格犬进行手术切除或去除这些结构对牙齿萌出影响的影像学和组织学评估，研究了下颌前磨牙功能前萌出过程中牙引导索、牙根形成、牙冠和牙囊的作用。牙囊是这些结构中唯一对于萌出道协调扩大以及牙槽窝底部骨形成所必需的结构，而这两者是牙齿萌出的影像学和组织学特征。这些数据，连同牙囊与局部骨吸收和形成区域的地形关系，被解释为意味着牙囊可能影响（如果不是协调）牙齿萌出中的这些过程。
