語源

An illustration of a human maxilla and mandible. Human beings are heterodont (adjective sense 1) as they have different types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
The heterodont (adjective sense 2) hinge of a cockle (genus Cardiidae).

From hetero- (prefix meaningdifferent) +‎ -odont (suffix meaningtooth; toothed). Hetero- is derived from Ancient Greek ἕτερος (héteros, one or the other of two; different), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sem- (together; one); while -odont is from Ancient Greek ὀδούς (odoús, tooth; tusk), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ed- (to bite) + *-ónts (suffix forming nouns denoting body parts). By surface analysis, hetero- +‎ -odont.

The anatomical term heterodont (from Greek, meaning 'different teeth') refers to animals which possess more than a single tooth morphology. For example, members of the Synapsida (which includes mammals) generally possess incisors, canines ('eyeteeth'), premolars, and molars. The presence of heterodont dentition is evidence of some degree of feeding/hunting specialization in a species. By contrast, homodont ('same teeth') dentition is the plesiomorphic (primitive) state for vertebrates, and is common in elasmobranchs, bony fish, amphibians, and most reptiles. Within the Sauropsida, there are occasionally cases of heterodonty, in some forms of pterosaurs, lizards, and dinosaurs, for example.
