Most amphibians exhibit teeth that have a slight attachment to the jaw or acrodont teeth. However a majority of papers concerning acrodont phylogenetics support the traditional dichotomy of the group. The type specimen is a partial jawbone which has acrodont teeth. The maxillary teeth are acrodont, large, and striated. There are, however, other animals that have acrodont dentition such as tuataras.. Acrodont dentition is evident in leptopleurons as well. Most species are pleurodont, though agamids and chameleons are acrodont. Acrodont teeth exhibit limited connection to the dentary and have little enervation. It is posteriorly acrodont, after the ninth tooth, and anteriorly pleurodont. The acrodont tooth style was seen in the palatal teeth and the tusks. The acrodont teeth behind them are sharp and triangular, likely adapted for shearing food. Its dentition is acrodont; the teeth are compressed, triangular, and more or less distinctly tricuspid.
