The concept of Danta Sharir is a special concept explained in Ayurveda Rachna Sharir. Description of Danta found in various Ayurvedic texts. However, Kashyapa samhita has devised a complete description of Danta Sharir, which is evidenced by the fact that a special chapter called “Dantjanmika Adhyaya” is given. An adult has a total of 32 teeth, eight of which are called Sakritjata (permanent teeth) and are expected to be erupt once in a lifetime. The remaining twenty-four teeth are called Divija (secondary teeth) and are mounted twice. Danta (teeth) is the part of the body classified as Ruchakasthi by Acharya Sushruta. While the elaboration of Danta/Ruchakasthi is not mentioned in Bruhatrayi, Sushruta Uttarantra has defined dantagata rogas. Danta is considered an important factor in a child’s development. The type of danta in Ayurveda parallels modern science in some areas, for example, in Ayurveda, the four types of danta are the same as mentioned in modern dentistry, which divides teeth into four types. However, it can be said that the concept of dentistry was well established and used in ancient Ayurveda.
