Morphological Analysis of the Occlusal Surface of Maxillary Molars in Koreans

Morphological Analysis of the Occlusal Surface of Maxillary Molars in Koreans

Highlights • We examined dimensional differences of maxillary molars. • Sexual differences in maxillary molars were more prominent in M1 than in M2. • Hypocone reduction had an inverse relation to cusp area of the protocone. • Protocone is suggested as a reliable parameter for comparing differences...
