Abstract
- The article discusses the effect of heredity and environment on the eruption of deciduous teeth in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins in Canada. Topics include the comparison of mean eruptive times for eight teeth in both groups. The estimation of the intraclass correlation is 0.91 for MZ and 0.56 for DZ twins. The estimation for the effect of heredity on the timing of eruption is 78 percent.
