Description
Original diagnosis after Feichtinger, Pollerspöck, Harzhauser, Auer, Ćorić, Kranner, Beaury & Guinot, 2024 [32635]: Strong labio-lingually compressed, multicuspidate teeth with a variable number of cusps. All cusps possess almost the same height, but smaller incipient cusplets can be developed. Very pointed apex of cusps and sharp cutting edges continuous from the apex to the crown base. Crown–root transition irregular but almost straight on lingual face and slightly convex on labial face. Root angular with short lingual face and high basal face. Large elliptical lingual foramina below the lingual crown base; wide and irregular nutritive groove. Numerous labial foramina of varying shape and size. The mesial and distal edges of the root possess a small depression for tooth interlocking.
