Objective: In orthodontics and prosthodontics fields, it is often necessary to measure the crown dimensions of patient's teeth for further diagnosis and treatment. This study aims to assess the reliability and validity of dental measurements by comparing three-dimensional (3D) measurement of digital model derived from 3D handheld scanner with electronic digital caliper measurement of plaster model, providing a promising technology for dentistry.
Design: The mesiodistal diameter, buccolingual diameter and clinical crown height of 2800 teeth were measured on 100 sets of maxillary and mandibular dental plaster models as well as on the corresponding 3D digital models obtained by structured light scanning of the plaster models. Each measurement was performed twice by qualified operators and averaged. Twenty sets of maxillary and mandibular dentition models were randomly selected for intra and inter observer errors. The reliability was evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Bland-Altman analysis was utilized to evaluate the validity of methods.
Results: Excellent reliability (ICC > 0.75) of intra and inter observer on traditional and digital methods were exhibited. Bland-Altman analysis showed the largest difference was the mesiodistal diameter (170/2800), and the smallest (130/2800) was the clinical crown height. Compared with other teeth, buccolingual diameter of incisors and molars, mesiodistal diameter and clinical crown height of premolars and molars displayed relative differences. The mean biases were close to zero, upper and lower 95 % limits of agreement were within 0.5 mm.
Conclusions: Linear measurements obtained from 3D technique are consistent with the conventional method. The 3D technology can be clinically accepted and suitable for dental metrology.

The hominin mandible SK 15 was discovered in April 1949 in Swartkrans Member 2, dated to ∼1.4 Ma. Albeit distorted on the right side, the left and right corpus of SK 15 are relatively low and thick, even compared to most Early to Middle Pleistocene Homo specimens.

Article Synopsis
- Endodontically treated teeth often lose substantial hard tissue, requiring post-and-core restorations for support, but there’s limited information on how remaining dentin thickness affects these restorations.
- The study aimed to investigate the residual dentin thickness in mandibular premolars after such restorations using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to assess stress distribution through finite element analysis (FEA).
- Findings indicated that the buccolingual root diameter was generally wider than the mesiodistal diameter, with residual dentin on the buccal side being consistently thinner compared to the lingual side, and most teeth exceeded 1 mm of residual dentin thickness in various dimensions.

Dental morphology varies greatly throughout evolution, including in the human lineage, but little is known about the biology of this variation. Here, we use multiomics analyses to examine the genetics of variation in tooth crown dimensions. In a human cohort with mixed continental ancestry, we detected genome-wide significant associations at 18 genome regions.

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether the presence of two palatal roots on permanent maxillary second molars (MSMs) can affect the crown size and crown's buccolingual and mesiodistal diameters.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using 592 CBCT scans to investigate 1120 MSMs of Mongoloid Malaysians. 3D models were created to assess the four-rooted MSMs and other related teeth carefully.

Dental anthropology provides a deep insight into biological, ecological and cultural aspects associated with human individuality, behaviour and living conditions and the environment. Our study uses a correlation analysis to test the metric relationships between tooth sizes and jaw dimensions and juxtaposes them with biological sex and stature. A sample of = 100 dental casts was used to record metric dental data including the mesio-distal and bucco-lingual tooth crown diameters and nine upper and lower jaw dimensions.
