Dental morphology

Dental morphology refers to the study of the shape, structure, and form of teeth. It includes understanding the different types of teeth (such as incisors, canines, premolars, and molars), their features like cusps, ridges, and grooves, and how these structures relate to their functions, such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food. Analyzing dental morphology helps in identifying individuals, understanding dietary habits, and diagnosing dental or developmental issues. It provides insight into how teeth develop and evolve, reflecting both biological and functional adaptations in humans and other animals.
