Quantitative evidence for the helicoid relationship between the maxillary and mandibular occlusal surfaces. 1977

W A Brown, and D K Whittaker, and J Fenwick, and D S Jones

A method for measuring the transverse inclination of molar teeth is described which enabled significant differences (P less than 0.001) between the three molars to be demonstrated for a sample of English Modern (n 24) and Romano-British (n20) skulls. No significant differences between the transverse molar inclinations were found for the Bronze Age (n 10) or the Neanderthal (n 8) sample.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008963	Molar	The most posterior teeth on either side of the jaw, totaling eight in the deciduous dentition (2 on each side, upper and lower), and usually 12 in the permanent dentition (three on each side, upper and lower). They are grinding teeth, having large crowns and broad chewing surfaces. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p821)	Molars
D010161	Paleodontology	The study of the teeth of early forms of life through fossil remains.
D003766	Dental Occlusion	The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.
