Explaining sex differences in dental caries prevalence: saliva, hormones, and "life-history" etiologiesJohn R Lukacs
Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403 1218, USA
Am J Hum Biol 18:540-55. 2006..These results suggest that hormonal fluctuations can have a dramatic effect on the oral health of women, and constitute an important causal factor in explaining sex differences in caries rates...
Enamel hypoplasia in deciduous teeth of great apes: do differences in defect prevalence imply differential levels of physiological stress?J R Lukacs
Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403 1218, USA
Am J Phys Anthropol 110:351-63. 1999..The size, position, and timing of LHPC lesions are currently under analysis and may yield more insight into the etiological origin of this enamel defect...
Enamel hypoplasia in the deciduous teeth of early Miocene catarrhines: evidence of perinatal physiological stressJ R Lukacs
Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, 97403 1218, U S A
J Hum Evol 40:319-29. 2001..These physiological stresses impacted neonates of fossil taxa with a wide range of adult body sizes, from large-bodied Proconsul major ( approximately 75 kg) to one of the smaller-bodied catarrhines, Kalepithecus ( approximately 5 kg)...
Enamel hypoplasia in the deciduous teeth of great apes: variation in prevalence and timing of defectsJ R Lukacs
Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403 1218, USA
Am J Phys Anthropol 116:199-208. 2001..Factors influencing intergroup variation in prevalence of enamel defects and their distribution on the canine crown, including physiological stress and interspecific dento-gnathic morphological variation, are evaluated...
Epidemiology of enamel hypoplasia in deciduous teeth: explaining variation in prevalence in western IndiaJ R Lukacs
Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403, USA
Am J Hum Biol 13:788-807. 2001....
Gender differences in oral health in South Asia: metadata imply multifactorial biological and cultural causesJohn R Lukacs
Department of Anthropology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403, USA
Am J Hum Biol 23:398-411. 2011..South Asia was selected for study because sex differences in caries rates exist in prehistory here, great cultural diversity provides context, and clinical reports document caries by gender...

Am J Phys Anthropol 107:179-86. 1998....
The prevalence and expression of primary double teeth in western IndiaG L Tasa
State Museum of Anthropology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403, USA
ASDC J Dent Child 68:196-200. 2001..The intermediate incidence reported for western India is in agreement with previous findings with primary dental morphology, suggesting an intermediate genetic affiliation between Asian and European samples...
Markers of physiological stress in juvenile bonobos (Pan paniscus): are enamel hypoplasia, skeletal development and tooth size interrelated?John R Lukacs
Department of Anthropology, 1218 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403 1218, USA
Am J Phys Anthropol 139:339-52. 2009..Hypostosis was not associated with differences in tooth size (P > 0.05). LHPC may be an indirect indicator of physiological stress, resulting from large, buccally displaced primary canines...
