Variation In Dental Crown Morphology In Malaysian Populations.

Dental crown variations was studied in the four main population groups living in Malaysia using dental cast(upper and Lower) obtained from 790 individuals. The aims of the study were to characterize variations in 13 crown traits,within groups as well as between groups, and to assess affinities betw...
