Abstract
A low incidence of dental caries, periodontal disease, and malocclusion was demonstrated by this study of 166 Ami and 128 Atayal Taiwan aborigine adolescents. As for dental morphology, a high frequency of shovel-shaped incisors and Carabelli's trait but a relatively low frequency of protostylid were noticed as well as the sex dimorphism of tooth size.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
