In modern anthropology the application of the odontoskopic signs which distinctly divide big anthropologi-cal varients of mankind is usually accepted. The system of odontometric signs also bears important information for diagnostics of an odontological material. Work is based on the analysis of odontometric data of four series of skulls. It is shown that variability of odontometric signs comes nearer to variability of the somatic sizes. Sexual dimor-phism in system of odontometric signs has uncertain character. In work the analysis of correlations between the sizes of a skull and teeth was carried out which showed that correlation communications between these systems of signs are at quite high level and are often statistically reliable. It agrees to the practice accepted in odontological researches and taking into account the data obtained in work concerning mosaicity of sexual distinctions man’s and female groups were joint. Distinctions between the mixed groups of Caucasoid and Mongoloid reach the level of statistical reliability only on several signs that serves as confirmation of rather low race diagnostically value of signs of an odontometry.
