ABSTRACT

Teeth are of vital importance to nearly all animals except mankind. Indeed the loss of them is incompatible with life and in many mammals longevity is directly related to the time for which the dentition can withstand the very abrasive process of mastication. In non-mammalian vertebrates the teeth are constantly being replaced throughout the life. (POLYPHYODONT), in man the teeth are replace only once (DIPHYODONT).
