On 311 dental stone casts of living children aged from 8 to 12 years, were measured the lingual fossa depth, MD diameter, and the BL diameter of the permanent maxillary incisors. The correlations and the differences of measured variables between left and right incisors, centrals and laterals, male and female incisors as well as the correlations between measured variables themselves were analysed. High left-right symmetry was established, except for directional asymmetry in female centrals. A significant positive correlation in terms of positive allometry between the lingual fossa depth and MD diameter was found. In the light of these results, the significance of the lingual fossa depth as a factor of strength is discussed.
在311例8至12岁儿童的口腔模型上，测量了上颌恒切牙的舌窝深度、近远中径和唇舌径。分析了左右切牙、中切牙和侧切牙、男性和女性切牙之间测量变量的相关性和差异，以及测量变量之间的相关性。除女性中切牙存在方向不对称外，建立了高度的左右对称性。发现舌窝深度与近远中径之间存在显著的正向异速生长正相关。根据这些结果，讨论了舌窝深度作为强度因素的意义。
