Total tooth length was measured in the first lower molar of two short-faced strains of rats (Sprague-Dawley and Buffalo) and two long-faced strains (BN and GRL). Tooth length was significantly longer in the long-faced than in the short-faced strains. The same correlation had previously been found in dogs, baboons and human populations, as well as in rats in which facial shortening was obtained experimentally by septum removal. The data suggest that the same mechanism is responsible for this relationship in all groups.
测量了两种短面大鼠品系（斯普拉格-道利大鼠和布法罗大鼠）以及两种长面大鼠品系（BN大鼠和GRL大鼠）的第一下磨牙的总牙长。长面品系的牙长明显长于短面品系。此前在狗、狒狒和人类群体中，以及在通过切除鼻中隔实验性获得面部缩短的大鼠中也发现了同样的相关性。数据表明，所有群体中这种关系的产生机制相同。
