It is posteriorly acrodont, after the ninth tooth, and anteriorly pleurodont. It also has pleurodont teeth, rather than subthecodont teeth like in all kuehneosaurs. Most species are pleurodont, though agamids and chameleons are acrodont. The fairly small teeth are pleurodont, and the pterygopid always bears teeth. Dentition is pleurodont, like other basal lepidosauromorphs and lizards, but unlike sphenodontians.
