2. Patella vulgata - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patella_vulgata

   The radula in this species is longer than the shell itself. It contains 1,920 teeth in 160 rows of 12 teeth each. Patella vulgata is found attached to firm substrates from the high shore to the edge of the sublittoral zone, although it predominates in areas of wave action. Its shell is conical, up to around 6 cm long, and lacks defined chirality.

3. Radula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radula

   A typical radula comprises a number of bilaterally-symmetrical self-similar rows of teeth rooted in a radular membrane in the floor of their mouth cavity. Some species have teeth that bend with the membrane as it moves over the odontophore, whereas in other species, the teeth are firmly rooted in place, and the entire radular structure moves as one entity.

4. Cone snail - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_snail

   Cone snails use a harpoon-like structure called a radula tooth for predation. Radula teeth are modified teeth, primarily made of chitin and formed inside the mouth of the snail, in a structure known as the toxoglossan radula. Each specialized cone snail tooth is stored in the radula sac, except for the tooth that is in current use. [13]

5. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_extraction

   Dental elevators can be used to aid removal of teeth. Various types are available that have different shapes. Their working ends are designed to engage into the space between the tooth and bone of the socket. [2] Rotatory movements are then made to dislodge the tooth from the socket. [2]

6. Odontophore - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odontophore

   Muscles that control the radula are shown in brown. The surface of the radula ribbon, with numerous teeth, is shown as a zig-zag line. The odontophore is part of the feeding mechanism in molluscs. It is the cartilage which underlies and supports the radula, a ribbon of teeth. [1] The radula is found in every class of molluscs except for the ...
