Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Freudenthal et al. 1994The dental pattern is fairly complex with well-developed mesolophids, mesolophs, ectomesolophids, and second metalophs. Sinusid and sinus are generally curved or oblique. In the third molars the metalophulid, resp. protolophule, is generally transverse, not connected to the anterior molar border.
