Resumen

Objectives: Determining the prevalence and variability of Eight non-metric tooth crown traits: shovel-shape (UI1), Carabelli's trait (UM1), hipocone (UM2), distal trigonid crest (LM1), cusp 6 TAPI (LM1), cusp 7 TAMI (LM1), deflecting wrinkle (LM1) and protostilyd (LM1) in human dentition. Materials and methods: In this descriptive study, dental morphology were studied, through the ASU plaques system, in 100 young students from a racially mixed group Cali - Colombia. Results: The most prevalent traits were hipocone and deflecting wrinkle. The Carabelli's trait expressed itself in low degrees and also low frequencies. Distal trigonid crest was absent in the sample. Final results showed the existence bilateralism in the expression of traits without sexual dimorphism. The prevalence of some traits indicates that the sample is similar to the Caucasoid dental pattern. The mongoloid dental pattern was also expressed but in low grade.
