“…By contrast, knowledge about whether and how sex hormones affect tooth morphology in humans is limited. There is indirect evidence of tooth development being affected by circulating sex and growth hormones (Garn et al, 1965a;Lorber et al, 1979). Androgens also have been implicated in tooth development in spotted hyenas (Frank et al, 1991) and in sexual dimorphism in molar tooth mass of mice (Heller and Blecher, 1982).…”

“…Canine size is sexually dimorphic in many mammals. Lorber et al (1979) proposed that sex hormones influence sexual dimorphism of canines in 1 3 dogs; this is reasonable, but it remains to be demonstrated experimentally. If canine di morphism in tayassuids is controlled by ste roid sex hormones, a new correlation be tween canines and zygomata could have been effected by placing phenotypic expression of the zygomatic process under the control of the same hormones.…”

“…This observed variation of the canines between populations has been explained by the simpler morphology (as compared to the rest of the dentition) and small size (Szuma 2000). Furthermore, the role of hormones in canine development and the variation in sexual dimorphism has also been speculated about (Lorber et al 1979), although the role of sex hormones in dental development is not clear (e.g., Guatelli-Steinberg et al 2008). As a likely result, in general the canine may be a good indicator of selection caused by competition-a result that yet needs to be assessed for these canids.…”
