title: [Odontometric studies of maxillary teeth as a means for population differentiation].
abstract: 4,497 maxillary teeth from 711 skulls were examined and measured. The diameters of the single teeth as well as the sums, quotients, and indices were subjected to statistical treatment using univariate procedures. Clear-cut differences among anthropologically different populations (Europoids, Negroids, Mongoloids, Melanesoids) were evidenced by the tooth dimensions. The indices are suited for revealing specific relationships among tooth groups.
