Odontometry of Lithuanian paleopopulations.
In 3443 teeth of 418 adults (224 males, 194 females) from Lithuanian crania of the 1st and 2nd millennia A.D., vestibulolingual (VL) and mesiodistal (MD) diameters of each tooth were measured on the right side. The samples showed a marked stability during the millennia, measurements being typical for a mesodontic population. Definite sexual dimorphism of teeth measurements was established. A method for sex estimation from dental measurements is proposed.
