摘要：

Comparisons of physical features within identical (monozygous) and non‐identical (dizygous) twin pairs have provided valuable insights into the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences to observed variability. The special nature of the twinning process itself also provides an opportunity to learn more about early human development, including how body symmetry is determined. The mechanisms of twinning, mortality and morbidity in twins, determination of body symmetry including the phenomenon of mirror‐imaging, postnatal growth and development of twins, and zygosity determination are discussed. Twin studies with direct relevance to clinical dentistry are reviewed and illustrated by examples from an ongoing investigation of dentofacial morphology in South Australian twins. 1990 Australian Dental Association
