Dental fricative or interdental fricative - non-sibilant coronal fricative.

There are two basic types:

• ð - voiced dental fricative
• θ - voiceless dental fricative

A thibilant is a term occasionally found for an (inter)dental fricative.

Though they are basically dental, alveolar realisation also occurs.
