Genetic and environmental determinants of dental occlusal variation in twins of different nationalities.

Human biology - 1 Jun 1990

Corruccini R S, Townsend G C, Richards L C, Brown T

Abstract excerpt

We have compared 10 occlusal traits in 358 monozygous and dizygous twin pairs in 4 different samples and estimated genetic variances for these features. Variable and frequently nonsignificant genetic variance was noted across samples for incisal overbite and overjet, sagittal molar relationship, posterior crossbite, and rotations and displacements of anterior teeth. Heritability estimates (when appropriately...
