Homodont means all teeth are the same in shape and size across the mouth. This uniform dentition contrasts with heterodont dentition, where different teeth are specialized for different functions (for example, incisors, canines, premolars, and molars). The idea behind homodont is about uniformity, not about enamel presence or the function of tearing. Enamel is a feature of tooth crowns in many animals and isn’t what defines homodont. Likewise, the fact that teeth are used for tearing describes a function, not the sameness of tooth form. So the statement that all teeth are the same best captures the meaning.
