“…Next, as far as metric traits are concerned, secular trends in tooth size originating from nutritional status have been demonstrated in populations around the world (Goose, 1967;Kirveskari et al, 1978;Suzuki, 1993). Proteins are heavily involved in the formation of teeth, and protein uptake in the formation period of the dental germ may strongly influence tooth size (Suzuki, 1993).…”

The aim of this study is to clarify the odontometric features of the people in the medieval period in Japan. We investigated the human skeletal remains of the Yuigahama-minami, Chusei Shudan Bochi, Seiyokan, and Gokurakuji sites; this is the first study to address the odontometry of multiple medieval skeletal populations of Kamakura city. Dental crown measurements were statistically compared with those of the other population samples dating from prehistoric to modern times. The results of our multivariate odontometric study allow some tentative perspectives regarding the relationship between the medieval and other prehistoric and historic Japanese series. First, the medieval series were found to have an odontometric pattern close to the Yayoi, Kofun, Edo, and modern series, and well differentiated from that of the Jomon and Ainu series. Second, the majority of the medieval series tended to have smaller tooth size than the post-Jomon series of the Yayoi, Kofun, Edo, and modern periods. We suggest that the small tooth size of the Kamakura medieval series may be related to nonlineage factors, and would not contradict their similarity in odontometric pattern with the Yayoi, Kofun, Edo, and modern series.

“…The exact proportions of the genetic and environmental components of odontometric variability remain controversial (Goose, 1967), although a value of 64% of the total variability in permanent tooth size has been assigned directly to genetic factors (Townsend and Brown, 1978). Such a value places more emphasis on environmental factors than traditionally assumed.…”

In a study of maxillary right first premolar morphology, multivariate analysis showed varying degree of separation between four human ethnic groups depending upon the actual metrical profile included in the analysis. Such ethnic discriminations were not possible from visual inspection or univariate analysis of individual crown diameters. Although the interpretation of such ethnic contrasts remains obscure, this study demonstrated the potential of multivariate statistical techniques in the investigation of odontometric data.

“…He estimated that this may have been due to improvement of nutritional uptake by humans in the developmental stage (Inoue et al, 1986). Hanna et al (1963), Goose et al (1967) and Uemura et al (1983), who evaluated generational difference of tooth size, reported that tooth size might be influenced by eating behavior in all cases.…”
