2. Radula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radula

   The teeth of the radula are lubricated by the mucus of the salivary gland, just above the radula. Food particles are trapped into this sticky mucus, smoothing the progress of food into the esophagus. Certain gastropods use their radular teeth to hunt other gastropods and bivalve mollusks, scraping away the soft parts for ingestion.

3. Aeolidia papillosa - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolidia_papillosa

   Unlike other Aeolidida, the family Aeolidiidae possesses radular teeth which aid in feeding on their prey (See Fig. 2). [7] The radula is a feature in majority of mollusks located in the mouth, like a tongue, containing thousands of teeth that help cut up food for digestion by scraping against rocks or even Fig. 2 A. papillosa Radular Teeth

4. Endemoconus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endemoconus

   Radular tooth (not known for fossil species) The anterior section of the radula is much longer than the posterior section. The blade is short, a basal spur is absent, and the barb is short. The radular tooth has no serrations. An accessory process is present and is a short, simple triangular terminating cusp. Geographical distribution

5. Periradicular surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periradicular_surgery

   In the dental specialty of endodontics, periradicular surgery is surgery to the external root surface. Examples of periradicular surgery include apicoectomy, root resection, repair of root perforation or resorption defects, removal of broken fragments of the tooth or a filling material, and exploratory surgery to look for root fractures.

6. Dendroconus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendroconus

   Radular tooth (not known for fossil species) The anterior section of the radula is equal to or slightly longer than the posterior section. The blade is fairly long and covers at least half the length of the anterior section of the radular tooth. A basal spur is present, and the barb is short.

7. Taxonomy of the Conoidea (Tucker & Tenorio, 2009) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy_of_the_Conoidea...

   Tucker and Tenorio's 2009 classification system for the cone shells and their allies (which resorb their inner walls during growth) was based on a cladistical analysis of anatomical characters, including the radular tooth, the morphology (i.e. shell characters), as well as an analysis of prior molecular phylogeny studies, all of which were used ...
