Hypsodont: Grazers. High crowns, longer than the roots, forever growing, whose anatomical crowns shorten through occlusal attrition with age (e.g. Equidae, Elephant molars). (Figures 4.22–4.28).

      Artiodactyla: Pronghorn antelopes

      Perissodactyla: Horses, zebras.

      Proboscidea: African and Asian elephant ‐ heterodont, elodont tusks (²I²), hypsodont molars that are loxodont.

      Rodentia: Beavers, gerbils, hamsters, squirrels, marmots, prairie dogs.

Figures 4.22–4.24 Impala: Bunodont, selenodont.

      Hypsodont and Brachydont: Are treated similarly endodontically.

      Rodentia, Geomyidae: Pocket gopher

      Thecodont: Teeth set in a gomphosis (socket), as in dinosaurs, crocodiles, and mammals, including humans and rhinoceros.

       Endodontic treatment plan similar to dogs, cats, and humans:

       Carnivora (Canidae, Felidae, Mustelidae, Pongidae)

      Procyonidae, Ursidae [Bunodont ¹M¹], Hyaenidae – aardwolf [Small caniform (microdontia of premolars), Homodont]: Heterodont, diphyodont, secodont carnassials teeth brachydont posterior teeth.

       Primatomorpha:

      Marsupialia: Secodont, bunodont and brachydont or hypsodont ³P^3K

      Figures 4.25 and 4.26 Horses and Zebras have hypsodont (high‐crowned; grazers), and are selenodont.

Figures 4.27 and 4.28 Perissodactyla: Rhinoceros. Thecodont, brachydont, hypsodont, lophodont (a simpler crown pattern than the equids), with elodont maxillary canines and incisors.
