Is there geometric morphometric evidence for the selection against impaction? A comparative cross-sectional study of specific tooth-agenesis patterns
In this large geometric morphometric study, no generalized or localized alterations in craniofacial morphology were detected, even in third molar agenesis, suggesting that the anthropological significance of hypodontia should be regarded with caution.
