Tooth size and morphology in 35 participants with trisomy G and in 33 controls have been studied. Special attention has been paid to the mean cusp pattern of the upper first and second molar. The classification matrix for the linear discriminant function analysis between participants with trisomy G and controls based on five selected variables showed three misclassifications.
