Variability of a dental morphological trait.

I H Aas

    Acta Odontologica Scandinavica

    Summary

    This study investigated maxillary incisor lingual fossa depth variability in different populations. Findings indicate no significant sex or racial differences in variability, suggesting genetic drift may explain homogeneity in Eskimo populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Anthropology
    • Genetics
    • Dental Morphology

    Background:

    • Morphologic variability in human dentition is crucial for understanding evolutionary adaptations.
    • Maxillary incisor lingual fossa depth is a key metric for assessing dental morphology.
    • Previous studies have not comprehensively analyzed variability across diverse populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate morphologic variability in maxillary incisor lingual fossa depth.
    • To introduce and evaluate statistical methods for assessing biologic variability.
    • To compare variability across different sex, racial, and inbreeding groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Statistical analysis of morphologic data from maxillary incisors.
    • Application of standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), and range (RC) calculations.
    • Utilized a logarithmic graphic method to analyze the relationship between CV and X.

    Main Results:

    • No significant sex differences in variability were observed.
    • Eskimo maxillary central and lateral incisors exhibited similar variability.
    • Variability did not increase with inbreeding, and no racial differences were detected across six populations.

    Conclusions:

    • Biologic variability can be effectively expressed using SDs, CVs, Xs, ranges, RCs, and logarithmic graphic methods.
    • Genetic drift is a plausible explanation for the homogeneity of lingual fossa depth in East Greenland Eskimos.
    • Functional demands on Eskimo incisors may contribute to reduced lateral incisor reduction and similar calcification timing.
