Besides being serrated or smooth the cutting edge of a tooth can be
further broken down
by it's "degree of completeness". Most reference material and this
website will use three
different "degrees of completeness" when describing a cutting edge.
Partial
Restricted to the top portion of the crown.
Hemipristis serra
Near complete
Extends over most but not the entire length of the crown.
Carcharias cuspidata
Complete
Extends over the complete length of the crown.
