The mandibular molar pit-tubercle (MMPT) dental nonmetric trait: Comprehensive analysis of a large sample

MMPT shows low trait presence, sexual dimorphism and asymmetry in stable teeth (LM1 and LM2). Intraobserver precision is high, so scoring should be reliable, although a plaque and better threshold grade definition is needed. After further research on non-European samples, MMPT can be useful in biodistance research.
