Interesting to look at your photo of the upper jaw and fit it to the Dugong. They feed on sea grass, so I imagine the front teeth are used like shovels to dig it up and it is passed to the molars at the back for chewing. Interesting to compare with, say, a cow skull, same idea, except cows just chew the grass off at ground level.
