Computation of simple, multiple and canonical correlation coefficents between the mesiodistal and buccolingual crown diameters showed a high degree of association between the overall crown dimensions of man and chimpanzee. Information regarding the partitioning of genetic and environmental influences on crown form must therefore await further data regarding the degree of correlation between detailed intra-crown dimensions. Nevertheless, the data from this study suggested that dentitions should be regarded as whole biological entities rather than a series of discrete teeth.
对近远中径和颊舌径之间的简单、多重及典型相关系数的计算表明，人类和黑猩猩的总体牙冠尺寸之间存在高度关联。因此，关于遗传和环境因素对牙冠形态影响的划分信息，必须等待有关牙冠内部详细尺寸之间相关程度的进一步数据。尽管如此，本研究的数据表明，牙列应被视为一个完整的生物实体，而不是一系列离散的牙齿。
