[Centenary of the publication of the monograph by Jenô Hillebrand entitled "New data on the morphology of human teeth"].
The dental morphological monograph by the anthropologist Jenô Hillebrand was published one hundred years ago. The book gave statistical data on 89 pages in eight chapters from the tooth collection of 4000 skulls and 2000 mandibles, as well as of 60 skulls of children. The chapters are about: onto- and phylogenesis of teeth, the size of teeth, crown-morphology, the roots of teeth, supernumerary teeth, absence of teeth, gaps (diasthema, trema), enamel hypoplasy and caries. Hillebrand described some new characteristics, too. The main representatives of Hungarian dental paleopathology and their works are also presented in this publication, including Hillebrand and his mentioned work.
