First record of plicidentine in Synapsida and patterns of tooth root shape change in Early Permian sphenacodontians

Recent histological studies have revealed a diversity of dental features in Permo-Carboniferous tetrapods. Here, we report on the occurrence of plicidentine (infolded dentine around the base of the tooth root) in Sphenacodontia, the first such documentation in Synapsida, the clade that includes mamm...
