There are a total of 32 teeth in number (according to the dental formula of permanent teeth).
Incisors: They are usually specialised for cutting and biting of the food.
Canines: They lie immediately behind the Incisors and have a similar function to incisor (cutting and nd biting of the food).
Promoters and molars: These are called cheek teeth which are broad, strong crushing teeth.
Third molars in human being are called wisdom teeth. The latter are vestigial in human beings.
