Pleurodont

Pleurodont is a form of tooth implantation common in

jaw bones which host them. The lingual (tongue) side of pleurodont teeth are not attached to bone, and instead are typically held in place by connective ligaments. This contrasts with thecodont implantation, in which the teeth are set in sockets and surrounded by bone on all sides.^[2]^[3]^[4]
