title: [Initial analysis of tooth drawings of 8-18 years old schoolchildren from normal population].
abstract: The connection between unconscious subjects and psycho-somatic manifestation is well known in the literature. Although more and more data is known about this connection related to the oro-facial region as well, investigation of this interesting problem is still has theoretical and clinical relevance. To collect more data about this field, 257 of tooth drawings of 8-18 years old schoolchildren from normal population were studied as a pilot to establish further investigations related to drawing-projections in connection with the oro-facial region. This first analysis of the data indicated that, gender correlates significantly with the size of the drawings (p< or =0.05), and localisation of the drawings (p< or =0.05). Differences between elementary schoolchildren and the more mature middle school children were detected as well related to subject (p< or =0.05) and localisation (p< or =0.05) of the drawings.
