Answer:
Canines are the odd one because premolars are used for chewing and grinding while canines are used for tearing the food
Explanation:
- The singular form of teeth is 'tooth,' and it is a hard and durable structure.
- Their primary function is to tear and masticate food, as well as for defense and other specialized reasons.
- The tooth is the hardest and most stiff component in the human body, and an average adult has 32 teeth.
- In humans, there are four different types of teeth:
- Incisors: They have sharp edges and are present in front of the mouth. They primarily perform the task of chopping food into smaller pieces for chewing. Four are located in the upper jaw and four are located in the lower jaw, giving humans a total of eight incisors.
- Canines: They are located in the corner of the dental arches and are also known as cuspids. They have elongated, pointy surfaces that are sharp and serve the purpose of tearing food, particularly meat and flesh. Two canines are located in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw of the human body.
- Premolars: They are situated behind the canine and are also referred to as bicuspids. These teeth perform the tasks of crushing and grinding and have a flat surface with ridges. There are two premolars on either side of the canines, making a total of eight in humans.
- Molars: They are known for having the biggest and strongest teeth; they have a flat appearance and are utilized for biting. There are a total of twelve molar teeth in the human body, six in the upper jaw and six in the lower jaw.
