Arguments

mesh	object of class mesh3d
origin	logical, whether to set the z of the mesh's lowermost point to zero.

Value

A list of values for hypsodonty index, height, length and width of the mesh. The hypsodonty index is not expressed relative to 100 but to 1. Note: the tooth surface is expected to be oriented such as the X-axis is the bucco-lingual axis, the Y-axis is the mesio-distal axis, and the occlusal plane is parallel to the (XY) plane and faces upward.
