A comparative study of tooth and dental arch dimensions in Jewish children of different ethnic descent. I. Kurds and Yemenites

Abstract: Dental casts of 99 Kurdish and 98 Yemenite Jewish children evenly distributed between the sexes, aged 12 years, were measured for mesiodistal and buccolingual tooth dimensions, and arch depth and width. Dental dimensions showed significant differences between the two groups in certain permanent teeth in mesiodistal length, while in the buccolingual diameter the differences did not reach statistical significance. Dental arch form in Kurdish children was more rounded due to significantly bigger arch width, while… Show more

“…The majority of our conclusions come in accordance to those of Koyoumdjisky-Kaye et al (19) who compared teeth and dental arch dimensions between Jewish population of Kurdish and Yemenites descent. They measured the dental casts of 99 Kurdish and 98 Yemenite Jewish children, aged 12 years, for mesio-distal tooth dimensions, and arch depth and width.…”

“…Previous studies have reported significant differences in head form and arch form between various ethnic groups [ 22 24 , 36 38 ]. Thus, careful selection of preformed archwires that match the patient’s original arch form and ethnicity is essential for a stable result.…”

“…It has also been demonstrated that the dental arch shape varies among living human populations: the people in the Near East (Koyoumdjisky-Kaye et al 1976), Japanese and Americans (Aoki et al 1971), Indians (Sasajima et al 1981), and the people in East Asia (Lee, 1977). In the Pacific region, the dental arch size and shape have been investigated for the people of Australia, Fiji, Samoa, Kiribati, and Japan (Fukuzawa, 1998).…”
