This investigation was undertaken to examine the extent to which tooth size and apical base dimension each contribute to dental crowding. Two groups of dental casts were selected on the basis of dental crowding. One group, consisting of 84 pairs of dental casts (42 males and 42 females), exhibited no crowing. A second
group, consisting of 40 paris of dental casts (19 males and 21 females), exhibited gross dental crowding (above 5 mm). Means and standard deviations of the two groups were used to compare these two groups.
The results were as follows:
1. The crowded group was found to have larger tooth sizes than normal group.
2. Males have larger tooth size, apical base perimeter and apical base width than females.
3. As the mean value of ratio of collective diameters of four incisors to apical base perimeter, normal group has 0.42 and crowded group has 0.45 in maxilla.
In mandible, normal group has 0.34 and crowded group has 0.37.
4. As the mean value of ratio of collective diameters of four incisors to apical base width at first molar area, normal group has 0.52 and crowded group has 0.55 in maxilla.
In mandible, normal group has 0.39 and crowded group has 0.43.
