The width and length of the anterior teeth, the dimensions of the frontal dental arches and the dimensions of the hard palate were measured (24 men and 56 women, age range of 18-30 years). The results showed gender-related dimorphism only for the cervical width of the maxillary canine, which were wider in men, p < 0.05. The width-to-length ratios of the maxillary frontal teeth varied from 0.82 ...

BACKGROUND Aim of this retrospective observational study was to compare upper and lower dental changes in patients treated with Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) and Mixed Maxillary Expansion (MME), assessed by dental cast analysis. METHODS Treatment groups consisted of 42 patients: the RME group (n = 21) consisted of 13 female and 8 male subjects with the mean age of 8.8 years ± 1.37 at T0 and...

The aim of the present study was to measure the dental arches in order to assess the potential influence of third molars on lower incisor crowding. Changes in dental arch dimensions were assessed in 47 patients (36 females, 11 males) three years following either removal of the third molars or deciding to leave them in situ. A dental pantomogram (DPT) was taken at the start of the study and plas...

Introduction: nowledge of standard dimensions which concerns the dental arch in human populating are very useful to clinicians in different fields of dentistry in orthodontics, prosthodontics and oral surgery and they are of great interest to anthropologists in studying the dental arch growth and development in relation to different environmental , genetic and physical factors for different pop...

Based on observations of longitudinal changes in dental arch dimensions, it has been stated that an individuality of arch form and an integrity of this form exists. However, longitudinal studies evaluating arch form changes have rarely been reported in the literature. The purpose of this investigation was to use a computer-assisted method for the description and analysis of maxillary and mandib...
