Increments of tooth length growth from age 6.0 to 14.0 years are given for four mandibular permanent teeth. Same-sex inter-teeth comparisons and opposite-sex similar tooth comparisons of the semilogarithmic regression curves are also made. Adult tooth length values for canines, first and second premolars, and second molars are given.
