Enamel thickness features prominently in hominoid evolutionary studies. To date, however, studies of enamel thickness in humans, great apes, and their fossil relatives have focused on the permanent molar row. Comparatively little research effort has been devoted to tissue proportions within deciduous teeth. Here we attempt to fill this gap by documenting enamel thickness variation in the deciduous dentition of extant large‐bodied hominoids.

现存的大体类人猿的乳牙牙列中牙釉质的厚度变化。

釉质厚度在类人猿进化研究中占有重要地位。然而，迄今为止，对人类，大猿及其化石亲属的釉质厚度的研究都集中在恒牙槽上。乳牙内组织比例的研究工作相对较少。在这里，我们试图通过记录现存的大体类人猿的乳牙牙釉质厚度变化来填补这一空白。
