The upper part of the comb is called "back" and the lower part is called "teeth". Those with sparse teeth are generally used for combing hair, which is called "comb". Those with dense teeth have the function of removing dirt, which is called "grate".            

Most of the combs unearthed in the Neolithic age were made of teeth and bones. Jade combs were found in the Shang Dynasty.
