The genetic and environmental contributions to variation in the permanent dental arch form: a twin study

CONCLUSION: The predominant source of occlusal variation within this group of Australian twins of Western European descent was controlled by genetic effects, and most were highly heritable. Generally, intra-arch occlusal variables showed greater heritability compared with inter-arch occlusal variables.PMID:37861389 | DOI:10.1093/ejo/cjad054
