A common lophodont pattern in primates is for the surface of the tooth to be made up of two main transverse lophs, a condition called bilophodont or biscuspid (e.g., Cercopithecidae). In the baboon, below, the lophs run between protocone and …

Lophodont molars have hard and elongated enamel ridges called lophs oriented either along or perpendicular to the dental row. Lophodont molars are common in herbivores that grind their food thoroughly.

In perissodactyl: Teeth …of this kind are called lophodont. Lower molars typically have two transverse lophs, the protoloph and the metaloph. In the upper molars these ridges are fused with a longitudinal ridge (ectoloph), which runs along the outer edge of the tooth. Further development leads to a convoluted arrangement of the lophs,… Read ...

The cheek teeth of elephant are of lophodont type. There is an intricate folding of enamel and dentine (Fig. 10.129F). These type of teeth are used to grind all sorts of plants, and also grasses.

The cheek teeth (molars and premolars) of mammals are often marvelously complex and adapted to specific tasks. Their morphology has provided a rich source of material for studying both mammalian phylogeny and the process and pattern of evolution.

Lophodont teeth: • Specialised grinding tooth type where the enamel and the dentin are intricately interfolded and the enamel is disposed on ridges (lophs) on enormous plateaus of naked dentin.
