Asterisk indicates estimated measurement.
Ratios quantifying male-to-female tooth size dimorphism are provided when teeth at the same position can be compared. Median dimorphism in canine size, based on upper canines, is 1.20, meaning males have canines on the order of 20% larger than those of females. Median dimorphism in premolar and molar size is 1.04, meaning that males have premolars and molars only about 4% larger than those of females.
