Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the genetic and environmental influences on the variability of human third molar (M3) root mineralization stages via a twin study. DESIGN: The study sample consisted of 162 same-sex twins (66 dizygotic and 96 monozygotic, mean age: 17.9 years) with normal growth and development.
