Abstract
In previous studies dental asymmetry was assessed from two dimensional measurements made on teeth. To describe dental asymmetry better, this study extends the measurements to three dimensions. Five contralateral pairs of extracted human maxillary first premolar teeth were investigated. The asymmetry is described in terms of difference in volumes of the contralateral pairs of teeth and their major components viz. enamel, dentine and pulp. An asymmetry was observed in enamel, dentine and pulp. However, the asymmetry was greater in enamel than in any of the other components. Some evidence to suggest that the local environmental conditions contribute in bringing about the dental asymmetry is discussed.
