Fluctuating Asymmetry in the Deciduous Dentition of Australian AboriginalsDepartment of Oral Biology, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide 5000, South Australia Asymmetry in deciduous tooth size was quantified for a group of Australian Aboriginals. No sex difference in asymmetry was noted, maxillary teeth were more asymmetric than mandibular, and mesiodistal dimensions were more asymmetric than buccolingual dimensions in males. Inter-population comparisons of dental asymmetry should take into account both general and local environmental factors, as well as measurement methods.
