Abstract
Evolutionary and developmental biology are very complementary fields of research and study to that of comparative dental embryology, the latter arising in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. In order to achieve a suitable taxonomy for dental embryology, it is necessary to compare equivalent characteristics throughout existent and extinct species.
