background: the purpose of this study was to assess the dental arch dimensions in primary dentition of 3-5 years old filipino children and determining the existence of sexual dimorphism. m aterials and methods: in this descriptive study, 60 filipino preschool children aged 3-5 years old were selected from manila city. study casts were used for measurements of 3 arch dimensions: bicanine width, ...

dental arch form is one of the most important characteristics of dentition. however, this dimension usually receives less attention in diagnosis or treatment planning and orthodontic patients are traditionally classified with regard to their sagittal characteristics. the objectives of this study were to investigate if a relationship exists between the dental arch width (transverse dimension) an...

statement of the problem: the stability of orthodontic treatment depends on preserving the patient’s pretreatment arch form and arch size during and after treatment. purpose: this investigation was aimed to study the size and shape of iranian mandibular dental arch and evaluate the correlation of their average dental arch with commercially available preformed rectangular nickel-titanium arch wi...

The objectives of this study were to investigate if a relationship exists between dental arch width and the vertical facial pattern determined by the steepness of the mandibular plane, and to examine the differences in dental arch widths between male and female untreated adults. Lateral cephalograms and dental casts were obtained from 185 untreated Caucasians (92 males, 93 females) between 18 a...

  In this study two groups of dental study models were selected to evaluate the relationship between the tooth size, arch dimensions , and dental crowding. The first group consisting of 56 pairs of dental study models (28 males and 28 females) with normal occlusion ( without dental crowding) ranging in  age from 16 to 20 years, were selected among 4445 students from Kerman by multi stage rando...

INTRODUCTION Maxillary premolars are often extracted to resolve incisor proclination in presurgical orthodontic treatment for severe skeletal Class III patients. The aim of this article was to compare arch-width changes and orthodontic tooth movements between maxillary premolar extraction and nonextraction modalities, and to provide an additional indication for presurgical maxillary premolar ex...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The stability of orthodontic treatment depends on preserving the patient's pretreatment arch form and arch size during and after treatment. PURPOSE This investigation was aimed to study the size and shape of Iranian mandibular dental arch and evaluate the correlation of their average dental arch with commercially available preformed rectangular nickel-titanium arch wi...

Introduction With the advancement in imaging technology, 3D dental computed tomography plays a very significant role in orthodontic treatment and diagnosis. Aim To evaluate dental crowding in relation to the mesiodistal crown widths and arch dimensions and also to determine the differences of dental crowding among males and females, in Southern Indian population. Materials and Methods A tot...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate dental arch dimensions and to classify arch shape in Korean young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample included 50 Koreans with age ranging from 24 to 32 years. Maxillary and mandibular casts were fabricated using irreversible hydrocolloid and type III dental stones. Incisor-canine distance, incisor-1st molar distance, incisor-2nd molar dis...
