How do teeth in mammals differ from the teeth in non-mammals?

Teeth in mammals are typically differentiated into distinct types, such as incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, each adapted for specific functions like cutting, tearing, and grinding. In contrast, non-mammalian vertebrates, such as reptiles, often have homodont teeth, which are uniform in shape and serve similar functions. Additionally, mammalian teeth are embedded in sockets (alveoli) in the jawbone, while many non-mammals have teeth that are fused to the jaw. This structural and functional diversity reflects the varied diets and feeding strategies among mammals compared to non-mammals.
