The aim of this study was to determine interrelationships between final body weight, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), IGF1 and morphological, densitometric and mechanical properties of deciduous mandibular teeth isolated from seven healthy Polish Merino rams. Four incisors (I1–I4) and second premolar (P2) were obtained from 5-month-old sheep. Teeth were cleaned, weighed, and their length was measured. Mean volumetric tooth mineral...
