Abstract

This article presents the standardized protocol that was developed to collect deciduous and permanent odontometric data on three-dimensional renderings of subadult crania obtained from computed tomography (CT) scans. If the methodology presented in this paper is to be used or mentioned in a presentation or publication, it needs to be cited. The authors also encourage all research that cites or uses the protocol to be submitted to the Subadult Virtual Anthropology Database (SVAD) Zenodo Community, to facilitate information sharing and discovery.
