Maiacetus has a piscivorous dentition and, like other early protocetids, is interpreted as an amphibious, semiaquatic, foot-powered swimmer that fed in the sea and came ashore to rest, mate, and give birth, as anticipated by Fordyce [5].
Molariform tooth homologies are also unknown, as no sloth has a deciduous dentition to allow study of tooth eruption sequences.
Salanoia durrelli has a more robust dentition than the brown-tailed mongoose; the teeth have larger surface areas.
It has a "highly carnivorous dentition and trophic adaptations for bone consumption".
Two binary variables were created: one for not having a functional dentition (fewer than 20 natural teeth) 37, and another for edentulousness (no natural teeth).
All dogs had at least 40 teeth present, and 91% had a full dentition.
Slightly more than half (55.8%) had a full dentition (having between 28 to 32 teeth) while only 30.4.4%) were edentulous (Table 1).
They have a carnivorous dentition and large, recurved claws on the fingers.
Most children aged between 6 and 11 have a mixed dentition.
This might also reflect higher expectation with respect to having a good dentition status among affluent compared to non-affluent 12-year-olds in Khartoum.
