Caracterização e fórmula dentária de Kerodon rupestris

Abstract

The dentition of mammals varies according to species, although it is formed by the same structural components. Keredon rupestris presents the dental formula 1 1/1, C 0/0, P 1/1, M 3/3, its teeth being hypsodonts, whose layers, from the external to the internal region are: cementum, enamel, dentin and pulp. In his oral cavity, the presence of a region known as diastema was noticed, which is responsible for the displacement of the cutter apparatus away from the face.
