Acrodont and homodont
Acrodont, thecodont and homodont
Human dentition is described as:
Diphyodont: Those animals in which two successive sets of teeth, initially the "deciduous" set and consecutively the "permanent" set occur. 20 deciduous teeth, or baby teeth, first begin to appear at about 6 months of age. Between approximately ages 6 and 12, these teeth are replaced by 32 permanent teeth.
Thecodont: The base of the tooth is completely enclosed in a deep socket of bone.
Heterodont: Presence of different types of teeth.
