Compare aspects/rates of skeletal maturation: appearance/fusion of ossification centres o o o. Compare stature of adult skeletons to that attained by modern, well-nourished populations. When you have inadequate matrix production during tooth formation. Permanent record of growth disturbances during years of enamel formation o o. By measuring the height of the defect from the neck of the tooth.
