Genetic and environmental contributions to morphological variation in the human permanent dentition : a study of Australian twins / Paula Jane Dempsey.

Bibliography: leaves 348-366. / x, 366 leaves : ill. (some col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / 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. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Dentistry, 1998
