The 12 pages that link to Tooth replacement, each with the reason it gives.

• RadulaNarrower topic: The radula advances new tooth rows as older rows become worn.

• Heterodont dentitionRelated: Replacement patterns determine whether specialized teeth are renewed once or repeatedly.

• Mammalian dentitionRelated: Replacement patterns determine whether a mammal has one, two, or many tooth generations.

• MammaliaformesRelated: Patterns of replacement help distinguish mammaliaform groups and illuminate their development.

• ThylacosmilusRelated: Thylacosmilus’s continuously growing upper canines differed from the fixed adult sabers of many saber-toothed cats.

• Dinosaur dentitionRelated: Many dinosaurs continually replaced teeth, limiting the effects of heavy wear.

• IchthyornisRelated: Ichthyornis had teeth in its jaws, unlike living birds.

• PliosauroideaRelated: Fossil tooth rows reveal how pliosauroids maintained their equipment for grasping prey.

• RhynchosauriaRelated: Rhynchosaur tooth batteries maintained functional grinding surfaces despite wear.

• GorgonopsRelated: Replacement could maintain functional teeth despite the wear of predation.

• DsungaripterusRelated: Replacement could maintain a functional tooth row under the wear imposed by crushing.

• HelicoprionRelated: Helicoprion’s spiral records successive teeth rather than a single fixed row.
