Abstract
These Amazonian indigenous villagers, who have been genetically studied previously, showed large intergroup genetic variations and similar patterns of tooth wear. Thus, we suggest from the findings in this study that the etiology of dental crowding among the inhabitants of the Xingu River area is predominantly associated with variations in the dimensions of dental arches, related to genetic influences.
