Molar Intercuspal Dimensions: Genetic Input to Phenotypic Variation
@article{Townsend2003MolarID, title={Molar Intercuspal Dimensions: Genetic Input to Phenotypic Variation}, author={G. Townsend and L. Richards and T. Hughes}, journal={Journal of Dental Research}, year={2003}, volume={82}, pages={350 - 355} }
Molecular studies indicate that epigenetic events are important in determining how the internal enamel epithelium folds during odontogenesis. Since this process of folding leads to the subsequent arrangement of cusps on molar teeth, we hypothesized that intercuspal distances of human molar teeth would display greater phenotypic variation but lower heritabilities than overall crown diameters. Intercuspal distances and maximum crown diameters were recorded from digitized images of dental casts in… CONTINUE READING
