Tooth size and arch dimension contribute a great deal to balanced occlusion, facial harmony and esthetics.
This information is one of the most important factors in orthodontics to make an adequate diagnosis and tratment plan.
The author selected dental casts and cephalometric films of 52 males and 52males with normal occlusion, ranged from 14 to 23 years of age, studied on the tooth size, arch dimension and interincisal angle.
The obtained results were as follows:
1. The mean value of the over-all ratio [(sum mand.12)/(sum max.12) X 100]was 90.7±2.28% a range of 85.97-96.2%, and the anterior ratio [(sum mand.6)/(sum max.6) X 100] was 78.4±3.20, a range of 77.11-88.96%.
2. The mean value of the canine fossa diameter, premolar diameter and basal arch length to the sum of the maxillary 12 teeth were 42.39±1.25%, 42.82±1.08% and 31.62±1.20%.
3. The mean value of the canine fossa diameter, premolar diameter and basal arch length to the sum of the mandibular 12 teeth were 39±0.98%, 4.3±0.98 and 32.6±1.22%.
4. Reverse correlation coefficientwas observed between overbite-overjet and basal arch length, but significant correlation was not observed between overbite-overjet and anterior ratio.
