Abstract

The study of morphometric parameters of teeth is of interest for many disciplines. Having a unique state of preservation, teeth are an inexhaustible source of information for anthropologists, dentists, biologists, geneticists, and forensic doctors. In dentistry and anthropology, various methods for studying the morphometric parameters of teeth are used: odontometric and odontoscopy. The purpose is to review the literature data on the development of methods of morphometric studies of teeth.
Conclusion.
Given the close relationship between the morphology and function of the elements of the dentoalveolar system, the use of geometric morphometry methods is of great interest for practical dentistry in the study of the morphological and functional parameters of teeth. One of the current trends in the development of biometric studies of the dentition is the use of the maximum possible number of methods and their combination within the framework of multidisciplinary studies, which significantly expands their information potential.

Key words:

teeth, odontometry, odontoscopy, morphology, geomorphometry
