This paper reviews the concept of morphogenetic fields within the dentition that was first
proposed by Butler (Butler PM. Studies of the mammalian dentition. Differentiation of the …

Previous studies have suggested that Neandertals experienced greater physiological stress
and/or were less capable of mitigating stress than most prehistoric modern human …

AIM: Congenital absence of teeth is a complex condition affecting several parameters of oral
development. This is the first study to measure tooth crown dimensions using image analysis …

Objectives We consider sex-biased effects of mortality and frailty patterns and how they may
be influenced by early life stress using linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH). Methods LEH was …

Objective Deciduous dental crowns primarily develop during gestation and early infancy and
embody early life stress exposures. Composite measures of dental fluctuating asymmetry …

AIMS: In studying aetiological interactions of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors
in normal and abnormal developments of the dentition, methods of measurement have often …

Objective The associations seen clinically between variations in tooth number, size and
shape reflect the repetitive genetic interactions occurring between the epithelium and …

OBJECTIVE: Fluctuating dental asymmetry is considered a sensitive indicator of
environmental stress. We used fluctuating asymmetry of teeth in Greek children to assess …

Dental morphology analyzes a set of widely studied traits which variation was mostly
determined by genetic diversity. This variation, expressed in character frequencies for each …

Introduction Previous studies have used the right and left sides of the same jaw to compare
different force levels, types of movement, and durations of forces. However, the amounts of …
