| description | Most of the indices of the norms of tooth dimensions established from model studies are those of a Western population. At present there are few norms for Oriental populations. This study was aimed at establishing mare Oriental norms for various indices and the average tooth size of a particular Tibetan population, Tibetans being a distinct Mongolian type. The overall picture that emerges from all the established indices is that Tibetan teeth are broad and short Mongoloids have a euryprosopic or wide face and a brachycephalic head. This study indicated that the teeth, dental arches and basal areas of the Tibetans in this group conform to this skeletal foundation. |
