Hypsodont

Pattern of dentition with high-crowned teeth

Hypsodont is a pattern of dentition with high-crowned teeth and enamel extending past the gingival margin, providing extra material for wear and tear. Some examples of animals with hypsodont dentition are cows and horses; all animals that feed on gritty, fibrous material. The opposite condition is called brachydont.
