Influence of biological relatedness on human palatal form and shape
Vilímková, Eva ; Velemínská, Jana (advisor) ; Borský, Jiří (referee)
This diploma theses deals with the effect of biological relatedness on the morphology of the human palate. So far, the effect of heredity on the morphology of the palate has been studied mainly in connection with clefts, there are not many studies dealing with the morphology of a healthy palate. Within this work, two goals were set. The first was to evaluate the variability of the palatal morphology of biologically related individuals compared to the variability of the palatal morphology of unrelated individuals. The second goal was to evaluate the effect of biological relatedness on palatal morphology. The material for this theses were two samples - a sample of biologically related individuals and a sample of unrelated individuals as a control group. The genealogically documented sample consists of 65 plaster casts of the upper jaw of mutually related individuals of the Czech population. This sample includes 33 men and 32 women. The average age in the sample is 37,65 years. The sample of unrelated individuals includes 52 virtual 3D models of a hard palate. This sample consists of 23 men and 29 women. The average age in this sample is 19,27 years. This theses combines methods of geometric morphometrics and linear regression models. The plaster casts of the upper jaws were first scanned with a 3D...
