The apex has a single foramen in dogs and cats. It remains open in herbivores. In the horse, the apex closes as the animal ages. Brachiocephalic dogs often have fused roots. Equine incisors have fused roots. In the horse's canines, the size of the root is much larger than the [[Enamel Organ#Crown|crown]].

===Alveolar Bone===
The alveolar processes of the jaw consists of the '''alveolar bone''', '''trabecular bone''' and '''compact bone'''.
The densest bone called the '''cribiform plate''' lines the alveolus. This appears white on radiographs and is referred to as the '''[[Lamina dura - Anatomy & Physiology|lamina dura]]'''.
