Ten adult male monkeys were studied. The teeth were evaluated for their length, root anatomy (external and internal considering the number of roots and canals), direction and shape of the root canal, density and diameter of the tubular root canal, dentin microhardness, and composition. The root anatomy showed specificity regarding the number of roots of the second premolar and the presence of the third premolar. We observed a decrease in the number and diameter of dentinal tubules along the root canal, a statistically significant difference when compared with the apical and cervical regions. Similarities with human teeth were found in regard to microhardness values and proportion of chemical elements in the root dentin.porAcesso AbertoBelém - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraPrimataSapajus apellaCebus apellaAnatomia veterináriaDentesMorfologia radicular da dentição permanente de Sapajus apella: morfometria, anatomia macroscópica, ultraestrutura e propriedades físicasRoot morphology of the permanent dentition Sapajus apella: morphometry, gross anatomy, ultrastructure and physical propertiesArtigo de Periódico
