The relationship between mandibular arch length and widths in a sample of Yemeni subjects with normal dento-Skeletal
1Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Sana'a University, Sana'a, Yemen.
Objective:
To assess the relationship between mandibular arch length and widths in a sample of Yemeni subjects aged (18-25) years.
Materials And Methods:
The investigation involved clinical examination of (765) adults; only 214 (101 females, 113 males) out of the total sample were selected to fulfill the criteria for the study sample (normal dento-skeletal relationship). Study models were constructed and evaluated to measure mandibular arch dimensions. The Spearman's correlation coefficient (r) was calculated between the measurements of arch widths and lengths.
Results:
Overall, the male group demonstrated greater transverse and sagittal mandibular dimensions; However, this was only statistically significant for measurements of inter-first and second molar distances and anterior arch length (P < 0.05). Relatively stronger linear relationships were observed between the inter-canine distance and mandibular arch lengths (P < 0.05, Spearman's r ranged between 0.17 to 0.50).
Conclusion:
Among studied mandibular dimensions in subjects with normal dento-skeletal relationship, only the inter-canine distance demonstrated a week to moderate linear relationship with the mandibular arch lengths.
