Morphologic characteristics of the Alaskan Eskimo dentition. II. Carabelli's Cusp

View through CrossRef
AbstractA study of coastal and inland Alaskan Eskimos revealed that a faintly developed Carabelli's cusp was present in 42.7%. No sex difference in the occurrence of Carabelli's cusp was evident and no family showed any difference in the distribution of the frequencies when each family was compared to the rest of the population.A general tendency toward a higher prevalence of Carabelli's cusp in the coastal Eskimos may be due to more admixture with white people along the coast.Alaskan Eskimos have a significantly higher frequency of Carabelli's cusp than do Aleuts.Statistical evaluation revealed that in the Alaskan Eskimo dentition the formation of Carabelli's cusp is independent of the size of the molars and the suppression of the third molars.
