dentition

The discovery of teeth on the tenaculum has reopened that debate, prompting researchers to ask how widespread such features might be and what they reveal about the history of vertebrate dentition.

Pondering extraterrestrial dentition is just one of the byproducts of working on the series for more than five years.

More baby boomers reached 60 with “a relatively intact dentition at that age than any generation in history,” the CDC says.

Imagine a walrus-like creature with dentition remarkably similar to modern walruses: A quartet of post-canine teeth, a large lower canine tooth and a short, fused vertical midline on their lower jaw.

Using the novel technique, the research team tried to determine the closest fit of the teeth's appearance to other dinosaurs with well-known dentition.
