Abstract in brief
The study investigates how the bending performance of Sabertoothed carnivores' canines, specifically Smilodon fatalis, changes during prolonged eruption, highlighting that cross-sectional geometry is optimized for strength as the tooth erupts but may become less effective due to spatial constraints.
Finite element analysis showed that while longer canines increase bending strength, their geometry changes can actually exaggerate lateral deflection, and the presence of deciduous canines for part of the eruption period helps maintain structural strength.
The findings suggest that dual-canine structures, including the retention of deciduous teeth, evolved as a strategy to maximize canine strength and stiffness, compensating for developmental and spatial limitations during prolonged eruption periods.
New insights into formidable canine of saber-toothed predators like Smilodon fatalis! Prolonged eruption process impacts bending strength & stiffness. Dual-canine buttressing is a convergently evolved strategy for maximizing functionality.
