Teeth: Form, Function and Evolution

TL;DR: Understanding of constraints on tooth shape in terms of geometry (how space influences tooth shape) and function (how teeth divide food) is extended to include geometry and function.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates that imaging the EDJ of both worn and unworn fossil hominin teeth provides a novel source of information about tooth development and variation in crown morphology.

TL;DR: Most methods of age-estimation, commencing with Gustafson's using dental criteria, predominantly root translucency, have recently been scrutinized by several workers but tooth wear as a method has escaped such scrutiny, a wide range of published findings based on tooth wear is reviewed here.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a worldwide synthesis of the global variation in tooth morphology in recent populations and present a new web-based application for using crown and root morphology to evaluate ancestry in forensic cases.
