[Incidence and structure of maxillodental abnormalities in twins]
Abstract:
Dental examinations were carried out in 208 twins (104 pairs), 60 of these monozygotic and 148 heterozygotic. Anthropometric studies of the diagnostic models of the maxilla were carried out in 78 children. The incidence and structure of maxillodental abnormalities and the specific significance of some of these abnormalities in their total structure in both groups of twins were determined. The degree of differences in pairs of twins was evaluated on the basis of anthropometric parameters and individual abnormalities. The highest level of hereditary influence was observed for the width of dentition and distal occlusion.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
