noun
-
A ridge of enamel connecting the cusps of a molar or cheek tooth.
“The plates are closely cemented together and in the early tooth they extend above the surface in a series of lophs. Because there are many of them that make up the whole molar, the tooth is called a polylophodont.”
“I include only 15 cheektooth features, although one could define a great many more in a loph-by-loph analysis.”
