tridental

Like a pitchfork

Having three teeth, prongs, or points.

The word most often describes the trident—the three-pronged spear associated with Poseidon and Neptune—or objects resembling it: a tridental fork, the tridental crest on the coat of arms.

Occasionally used in technical contexts for tooth-like structures in biology or mechanics.
