Homodont: (Figures 4.18–4.21).
Carnivora, Pinnepedia: Sea lion (homodont posterior teeth)
Edentata: Armadillo, sloth (cheek teeth)
Cetacea: Monophydont: Whales, dolphins, porpoises (when teeth are present)

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.

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 3P3K
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.
