Abstract:- A set of identical male triplets was studied. Lateral cephalograms, study models and facial photographs were taken and assessed for various traits. When all the records were assessed, two of the triplets showed more similarity than the third one, comparatively. This supports the hypothesis that heredity is not the sole controlling factor and the phenotype is inevitably the result of both genetic and environmental factors.
