Human Adult Odontometrics: The Study of Variation in Adult Tooth Size
Julius A. Kieser
- 01 Jun 2008
TL;DR: The finding that sexual dimorphism in tooth size is higher in women than in men is consistent with anorexia, while in men it is more likely to be a case of simply having more teeth.

The dentition of the Lengua indians of Paraguay.
Julius A. Kieser,C. B. Preston +1 more
TL;DR: The crown morphology of 202 dental casts from living Lengua Indians shows a high Mongoloid component with little effects of possible European admixture, thus supporting the theory that despite early Franciscan and Jesuit attempts at missionization, much of the Paraguayan Chaco has remained genetically and culturally relatively intact well into the present century.

Fluctuating odontometric asymmetry and maternal alcohol consumption.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the elevated levels of fluctuating odontometric asymmetry in children of alcoholic mothers may be ascribed to prenatal stress, especially during the soft tissue stage of odontogenesis.

Patterns of dental wear in the Lengua Indians of Paraguay
TL;DR: This study lends support to Osborn's theory of the helicoidal plane development by showing that attrition enhances rather than modifies posteruption molar occlusal planes.

Fluctuating odontometric asymmetry, morphological variability, and genetic monomorphism in the cheetah acinonyx jubatus.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the cheetah may not be as developmentally unstable as was previously supposed and dental dimensions in cheetahs are not significantly more variable or asymmetric.
