DENTAL STUDIES OF TRIPLETS

I. MEASUREMENTS OF ARCH WIDTH AND LENGTH

J. T. COHEN D.D.S., C. P. OLIVER PH.D., and S. BERNICK D.D.S., M.S.

Measurements of the arches were made for 9 sets of triplets and 3 sets of non-related individuals. The degree of similarity for the 3 possible combinations of each set, as based upon corrected identical measurements, was determined.

Five of the triplet sets have each one pair of identical twins by other criteria. Only 2 of the 5 have relatively identical arch measurements. The other 3 sets are no more identical than fraternal and non-related sets.

It is suggested that in part the likeness shown by a triplet set is due to the like age and sex; and that part of the unlikeness in identical sets is due to extrinsic factors. These factors make it difficult to use dental measurements as a means of determining monovular origin.
