Abstract

The length of rat incisors was measured radiographically, and was constant in rats of the same weight, sex, and strain. The right and left maxillary and mandibular incisors were of equal length in the same rat. The mandibular incisor was consistently about 25% longer than the maxillary incisor for all parameters measured.
