  1. The used dental notation for numbering the teeth was the alphanumeric notation, in which the numbers 4 to 7 denote tooth numbers from the first premolar to the second molar, respectively, while the letters U and L indicate the words lower (mandibular) and upper (maxillary), respectively. The associations between traits/anomalies and sex were examined using the chi-square test. Significant P values in bold
