Definition
The condition of having different types of teeth adapted for different functions, like canines for tearing and molars for grinding.
Etymology
From Greek hetero- (different) + odont- (tooth) + -ism (condition). A zoological term describing dental diversity found in mammals.
Kelly Says
Sharks and dolphins are heterodont—they have different tooth shapes for gripping and slicing fish, while crocodiles are homodont with all identical teeth, making them more efficient for their hunting style.
