Strong genetic influence on hypocone expression of permanent maxillary molars in South Australian twins

An understanding of the role of genetic influences on dental traits is important in the areas of forensic odontology, human evolution and population variation. The aims of this study were: to calculate the frequency of occurrence and degree of expression of hypocones on permanent maxillary first and second molars in a sample of South Australian twins; to compare trait expression between males and females; to compare concordance rates for trait...
