Abstract:
An assessment of deciduous tooth-size asymmetry showed no evidence of sex differences. When asymmetry was compared between the various tooth dimensions, the buccolingual dimensions of mandibular incisors consistently displayed high asymmetry values. This finding may reflect a developmental interaction between the deciduous incisor tooth germs and their lingually-placed permanent successors.
