“…This difference was also observed in the cumulative tooth size widths, where males exceeded those of the females by 2.04 mm in the maxilla and 2.22 mm in the mandible [Table 3]. This finding is in agreement with those reported for other Arabian groups of Iraqis,[5] Jordanians,[71315] and Saudis,[12] and also for other racial groups. [41114]…”

“…Al-Khateeb and Abu Alhaija[13] and Al-Omari et al .,[15] in their studies on Jordanians’ dentition, reported anterior and overall ratios that were very close to Bolton's ratios. Further, Al-Tamimi and Hashim[16] carried out a study on Saudi population and found that the anterior and overall ratios were very similar to Bolton's values.…”

“…This finding is in agreement with those of previous studies on other populations. [91315192021242532] Further, there were also no statistically significant associations between tooth size ratios and malocclusion groups. This finding is in line with those reported by Al-Khateeb and Abu Alhaija,[13] Crosby and Alexander,[24] and Alkofide and Hashim,[33] who failed to find significant differences in the Bolton's ratios within the different malocclusions.…”

Objectives:The aims of this study were to determine the mean mesiodistal tooth size width and Bolton's anterior and overall ratios, find any possible sex differences, and study the frequency of tooth size discrepancies among Yemeni population and if there is a difference in tooth size between the right and left sides.Materials and Methods:176 subjects aged 13–25 years (94 females and 82 males) with different types of malocclusions (94 Angle Class I, 37 Class II division 1, 36 Class II division 2, and 9 Class III) were included in the present study. The mean mesiodistal tooth size width and Bolton's ratios were determined.Results:The results showed that males had significantly larger teeth than females. The prevalence rates of clinically significant discrepancy greater than 2 SD were 29.53% and 14.20% in the anterior and overall tooth size ratios, respectively. Further, the results revealed that there were no significant differences in the tooth size width between right and left sides.Conclusion:The findings of the present study indicate that there was no significant difference between Bolton's ratio and that of Yemeni population.

Objective: To find out if there is any relationship between tooth size discrepancy (TSD) and skeletal anterior open bite (AOB) and to assess the correlation between the amount of AOB and TSD.Method: A total of 100 Class I subjects were included in this study (average age 15.21 ± 2.84 years). Fifty patients had skeletal AOB (>3 mm) and 50 subjects acted as controls and had a normal overbite. Teeth mesio-distal widths were measured using a digital caliper. Anterior, overall, and posterior TSD ratios were calculated. An independent t-test was employed to assess differences between groups and between genders. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to assess the correlation between the amount of AOB and TSD.Results: Significant differences in anterior (p = .038) and posterior (p = .015) TSD ratios were detected. In the skeletal AOB group, no significant gender differences were detected (p > .05), whereas in the normal bite and total sample group, males had smaller posterior teeth compared to females (p < .05). All the differences were smaller than 1 SD of Bolton's ratios. No significant correlation was found between the amount of AOB and TSD ratios (p > .05).Conclusions: Skeletal AOB had larger anterior and smaller posterior mandibular teeth, but the differences were less than 1 SD of Bolton's ratios. Males have smaller mandibular posterior teeth than females. The amount of AOB is not correlated with the TSD ratios.
