Heterodontism refers to the condition of having teeth of different types and shapes within the same organism. This dental arrangement allows for specialized functions, such as cutting, grinding, or tearing food. Most mammals, including humans, exhibit heterodontism, contrasting with species that possess homodont dentition, where all teeth are similar in form.
