Objective
This study aimed to estimate the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors to phenotypic variations of dental arch traits from primary to permanent dentition stages.
Methods
Digital dental models of 188 Australian twin pairs (90 monozygotic and 98 dizygotic) in the primary dentition stage, followed up through the mixed...
Multidisciplinary research interpreting interactions between diverse data sources using a Complexity approach.
A Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) framework allows the relationships of multiple factors to be explored and may provide a more holistic and nuanced understanding. This study is innovative in explaining the potential benefits in a CAS appro...
Objectives
This study aimed to determine the genetic and environmental contributions to phenotypic variations of palatal morphology during development.
Methods
Longitudinal three-dimensional digital maxillary dental casts of 228 twin pairs (104 monozygotic and 124 dizygotic) at primary, mixed, and permanent dentition stages were included in this s...
Objectives
This study aimed to determine the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors in the phenotypic variation of the soft tissue facial profile during the mixed dentition and the permanent dentition stages.
Methods
In this retrospective cohort study, standardized facial profile photographs of 139 twin pairs (55 monozygotic an...
The aims of this study are to determine the oral health status of a rare sample of 19th-century migrant settlers to South Australia, how oral conditions may have influenced their general health, and how the oral health of this group compares with contemporaneous samples in Australia, New Zealand, and Britain. Dentitions of 18 adults and 22 subadult...

Archaeological investigation of the dentoalveolar complex in-situ within a human skull requires detailed measurements using non-invasive techniques. Standard macroscopic and radiographic methods have limitations but Large Volume Micro-Computed Tomography (LV Micro-CT) scanning has the potential to acquire data at high resolution in microns. In this...
This article examines the politico-scientific mechanism, which leads nations to declare an epidemic or a pandemic finished, irrespective of the actual epidemiological situation at a given time. A historical comparison is made with the famous behavior of Emperor Justinian I (482–565 CE) during the plague pandemic named after him (part of the first p...
Background Archaeological investigations of human skeletal material require non-destructive techniques. Large Volume Micro-Computed Tomography (LV Micro-CT) scanning systems allow acquisition of data from complete skulls. This study aims to determine 1) whether LV Micro-CT scanning can as a single technique provide adequate data for the analysis of...
Objectives
To examine pathological evidence present in a sample of 19th -century settlers to South Australia in the context of an early industrial society.
Materials
Skeletal remains of 20 adults and 45 nonadults from the government funded burial site (free ground) of St Mary’s Anglican Church Cemetery, gravestones of privately funded burials and...
The British colony of South Australia, established in 1836, offered a fresh start to migrants hoping for a better life. A cohort of settlers buried in a section of St Mary’s Anglican Church Cemetery (1847–1927) allocated for government funded burials was investigated to determine their health, with a focus on skeletal manifestations associated with...
In 2003 historical (non-Aboriginal) human skeletal remains archaeologically excavated from St Mary’s Anglican Church cemetery in Adelaide, South Australia were reinterred in a concrete subterranean crypt. This paper examines preservation status following 15 years of interment. Skeletal remains placed in sealed plastic bags inside plastic curation b...
Nineteenth century medical understanding of human metabolism was limited, therefore, the incidence of metabolic deficiencies was not fully recorded. In addition, the transition from agricultural based mode of life to the industrial one significantly changed the pattern of these metabolic deficiencies. They were further altered by colonization of di...
