The dentition of Papio anubis was studied in 50 male and female animals; gross observation, study casts, radiographs, and histologic preparations were used. An overall general similarity to the dentition of human beings was observed in size, morphology, and occlusion. Notable differences in the baboon dentition were a more elongate arch form, prominent maxillary canine crowns, and second and third molar crowns of greater size than first molar crowns.
