Tooth shape asymmetry in post-canine dentition: Evidence-based morphometric insights
The research underscores the evolutionary advantage of bilateral symmetry and the presence of fluctuating asymmetry, possibly linked to genetic or environmental stressors. It emphasizes the importance of understanding dental asymmetry for effective treatment planning and diagnosis, in restorative dentistry and orthodontics.
