Abstract
The maxillary first permanent molars of different human population samples were compared by multivariate analysis of two-dimensional coordinates of datum points defining the occlusal surface and periphery of the crown. This technique proved that discrimination was possible between teeth which could not be discriminated visually or by analysis of the mesio-distal or buccolingual diameters.Keywords
