Description
Diagnosis after CASE & CAPPETTA, 1997 [401]: Teeth of very peculiar design with a root higher and broader than the crown (teeth up to 2mm in total height). Crown less high, with a triangular labial face in occlusal view and well cuspidate; cusp more or less sharp according to the position in the mouth and strongly bent lingually. Base of the labial face bearing some strong folds, with sometimes an axial crest. Root high, often multilobate in occlusal view. Root lobes separated by a deep and broad groove where open large and irregular foramina. Usually several pairs of margino-lingual foramina very well developed opening close to the base of the root and sometimes strongly indenting the basal outline. Numerous and irregular foramina open also on the basal face of root lobes.
