[Odintologic studies on the dentition of Pan troglodytes verus].
The examination of 90 Pan troglodytes verus skulls from the collection of the Institute of Anthropology of the University of Giessen did not reveal the existence of a tuberculum Carabelli. Against that a well marked cingulum of the upper molars could be observed. Nearly half of the P2 showed two roots; one of the P1 had only one root. The two-rooted P2 are characteristic by a longitudinal groove on the buccal side, which may indicate bifurcation of the teeth. Agenesia of teeth was found in 3.6% of all cases, supernumerous teeth in one, respectively, two cases. Furthermore, a number of similarities with the tooth form of modern man was ascertained.
