That's the general idea behind the diameters. You could record the greatest diameter at each view as well as the diameter where the texture of the tooth changes, the root. 

So using one of your pictures, the diameters would be measured like this:

Then look at the tooth from the front or back, and measure the diameter at the same areas from that angle for the tooth width.

The former measurement can be used to be compare with Hooijer's tigers, and the latter are better indicators of skull size as the growth in these directions is directly related to the skull's length and width and will enable a recreation of the owner's skull. Thanks again, @Fieryeel. Reply
