. All piranhas have a single row of sharp teeth in both jaws; the teeth are tightly packed and interlocking brains (via small cusps) and used for rapid puncture and shearing. Individual teeth are typically broadly triangular, pointed, and blade-like (flat in profile). There is minor variation in the number of cusps; in most species the teeth are tricuspid with a larger middle cusp that makes the individual teeth appear markedly triangular. The exception is //Pygopristis,// which has pentacuspid teeth and a middle cusp that is usually only slightly larger than the other cusps. In the scale-eating //Catoprion,// the wimple piranha, the shape of their teeth is markedly different and the premaxillary teeth are in two rows, as in most other serrasalmines (Freeman et al. 2007). The pointed, razor-sharp teeth of piranhas are in a pronounced underbite.n: 25 years or more
