Lemurs possess a dentition that includes a combination of incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, which are adapted for their omnivorous diet. Their incisors are often large and chisel-like, useful for grooming and feeding on plant material. The dental formula typically seen in lemurs is 2-1-3-3 for the upper jaw and 2-1-3-3 for the lower jaw, reflecting their diverse dietary needs. Additionally, some species exhibit specialized teeth, such as the tooth comb, which aids in grooming.
