Criteria for Classification of Crown Characters of the Human Deciduous Dentition

“From the mouth of a child”: dental attributes and health status during childhood in Mesolithic India

“…Classification of variation in expression of non-metric morphological traits employed a variety of methods and standards depending on the trait analyzed. Methods for grading each of the 22 morphological traits observed in deciduous teeth are summarized by Lukacs and Kuswandari (2013: 469-476), which relies heavily on the pioneering research by Hanihara (1961Hanihara ( , 1963Hanihara ( , 1966Hanihara ( , 1968.…”

“…Fused and double primary teeth have been reported in archaeological samples and living populations in India and elsewhere (Tasa, 1998;Tasa and Lukacs, 2001;Smith and Wojcinski, 2011). Non-metric variations of the deciduous tooth crown have been documented in medieval and modern Danes by Jørgensen (1956), in Japanese and Ainu by Hanihara (1961Hanihara ( , 1966 and Kitagawa (Kitagawa et al, 1995(Kitagawa et al, , 2002Kitagawa, 2000), in native North Americans by Sciulli (1998) and in early hominids and South African Blacks by Grine (1984Grine ( , 1986. Variation in deciduous dental morphology has been used to detect biological siblings in mortuary samples (Paul and Stojanowski, 2015).…”

Technical Note: The Definition of New Dental Morphological Variants Related to Malocclusion

“…This publication outlines 36 traits of the dentition as well as rocker jaw, and mandibular and palatine tori. This original work is based on a rich literature defining morphological variation of the teeth (e.g., Dahlberg ,1956;Hanihara ,1961;Harris and Bailit, 1980;Hrdlička ,1921;Morris, 1970;Morris et al, 1978;Scott, 1977;Scott, 1980;Tomes, 1914;Turner ,1970;Turner, 1971). However, since its publication, there have only been a handful of additional traits defined, including the canine mesial ridge (Irish and Morris, 1996), maxillary premolar accessory ridges (Burnett et al, 2010), deciduous morphological variants (Sciulli, 1998), and molar crenulations (Pilloud et al, 2017).…”
