A Comparison of Morphometric Parameters Observing Tooth Size Discrepancies and Archwidth Among the Indian and Iranian Population- a Pilot Approach (original) (raw)

BackgroundOrigin and the gender have a definitive role to play in the growth and development of an individual. The Bolton’s ratio and arch width parameters are such parameter which are taken into consideration while treating malocclusion. A definite relationship between the two arches is often hampered due to the discrepancy in the above mentioned parameters. There are definite differences in the developmental milestones between the males and females, the malocclusions also do show differences when these parameters are considered. The reports based on the differences in these parameters based on the malocclusion, gender and ethnicity altogether are scanty and hence this must be taken into consideration as a part of research which can help orthodontist to render better treatment understanding of these core concepts. Aims and objectives-The aims and objectives of the present study were to determine and compare the anterior and overall Bolton’s ratios and arch width between Iranian and...
