This is due to a large part of their diet consisting of hard ...

The drill is a short-tailed monkey up to 70 cm (28 in) long, similar in appearance to the mandrill, but lacks the bright blue and red on the face of that species.

Diagram showing embrasure (red triangle) between maxillary right second bicuspid and maxillary right first molar. Right lateral view. In dentistry, embrasures are V-shaped valleys between adjacent teeth. They provide a spill way for food to escape during chewing [1] which essentially aids in the self-cleansing process.
Paired maxillae cut food and manipulate it during mastication. Maxillae can have hairs and "teeth" along their inner margins. At the outer margin, the galea is a cupped or scoop-like structure, which sits over the outer edge of the labium. They also have palps, which are used to sense the characteristics of potential foods.
