Abstract

: 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.
