Dental arch dimensions, form and tooth size ratio among a Saudi sample

Abstract: Objectives:To determine the dental arch dimensions and arch forms in a sample of Saudi orthodontic patients, to investigate the prevalence of Bolton anterior and overall tooth size discrepancies, and to compare the effect of gender on the measured parameters.Methods:This study is a biometric analysis of dental casts of 149 young adults recruited from different orthodontic centers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The dental arch dimensions were measured. The measured parameters were arch length, arch width, Bolton’s ra… Show more

“…[18,19] In the recent study by Omar among a Saudi samples in Class I, Class II, and Class III cases, the most prevalent arch form was narrow tapered, followed by narrow ovoid and the upper arch form did not match the lower arch form, especially in Class II and Class III cases. [20] Tubercle sharp end and incisal edges are used as landmarks in most of the conventional studies, in identifying the arch form. In our study, we used the same technique to determine the anatomy landmarks on study models.…”

“…12 Tooth widths and arch dimensions are considered significant information by anthropologists, quite apart from their value to orthodontists in understanding dimensional arch criteria and orthodontic archwire selection. 13,14 Dental arch width increases during both the phases of mixed and permanent dentitions, leading to information about the subject's age and body being factors expected to refine arch width estimates. 15 A study of 65 healthy Caucasian children followed from birth to over 25 years of age, including those with malocclusions, found a progressive increase in arch width, especially in males.…”

“…The observation of this study correlated with the observations made by Omar et al . [ 28 ] All the incisors and canines revealed rectangular and circular shapes, respectively, in cross-sectional view. This finding was similar to that made by Sandeep et al .…”
