Brief Communication: Premolar Enamel Formation: Completion of Figures for Aging LEH Defects in Permanent Dentition

Variation in enamel formation has become increasingly important in comparative studies of dental development. Previously published work on the development of human enamel in groups from southern Africa and northern Europe has allowed for more accurate estimation of formation timing of linear enamel hypoplasias. Currently, although data for all tooth types has been published, charts of enamel growth by decile useful in this type of estimation have been limited to molars and anterior teeth. This paper completes this series with a table and figure of mean formation times of human premolars for each decile of crown development using previously published histological data of daily enamel growth.
