Answer 2

Answer:

The dental formula of an adult man is 2123/2123.

One of it( 2123) represents the number of tooth of each type present on one side of the upper jaw while the other represents the number on one side of the lower jaw.

It is given as per the type of teeth in the order ICPM where I = Incisor, C = Canine, P = Premolar, and M = Molar. So we can write it as ICPM (upper jaw/lower jaw).
