Abstract

Twins and families were investigated to obtain information about inheritance of tooth-crown size. Sixty twin pairs and 100 families were examined using four methods of estimation. The results suggest genetically controlled interactions between tooth germs during their formation. A hypothetical model of odontogenesis is presented.
