Abstract

Moiré photographs of the occlusal surface of first molars of Japanese children were taken by means of a specially designed moiré contourograph apparatus. They were then used for three-dimensional measurements. The heights of 4 cusps and some other points were measured by counting contour lines. Distances and angles between them were also measured. Sex differences of these measurements are found mainly around the metacone and hypocone. There is no clear correlation of the four cuspidal heights to the distances between them.
