Includes bibliographical references (leaves 68-76) Aims to observe changes in the expression of syndecan-1 in both the developing epithelium of the rat oral mucosa, and in epithelial cell rests of Malassez in the developing periodontium of normal rat molars, from late crown development through to early eruption.

Bibliography: leaves 348-366. Elucidates the nature and extent of genetic and environmental contributions to variation in permanent tooth crown size. Sibling correlations are compared to find evidence of sex-linked genes contributing to crown size. This hypothesis was tested by comparing mean tooth size in female-male opposite-sex twins with same-sex twins, and singletons.
