The incisors of the mammalian dental arch develop from tissues arising from separated facial prominences. These primordial craniofacial structures undergo complex morphogenetic processes as they merge and fuse in a time and space dependent fashion. However, local contributions of precursor facial prominences to the incisors that develop subsequently remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize the development of all three deciduous upper rostral teeth in the pig (Sus scrofa f. domestica) for the identification of the likely facial prominence contributions to the incisors based on normal and pathological developmental relationships.
