    Background:

    • Human dental arch shapes are complex and require robust modeling techniques.
    • Statistical and graphical analysis of dental arch populations is crucial for understanding morphology.
    • Existing methods may not fully capture the nuances of dental arch shape variation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To model human dental arch shapes using conic sections.
    • To apply the Bingham distribution for statistical analysis of conic arc coefficients.
    • To define an average dental arch shape and quantify shape variation.

    Main Methods:

    • Fitting conic arcs to model dental arch shapes.
    • Utilizing the Bingham distribution to model coefficients of conic arcs.

    • Main Results:

    • The Bingham distribution successfully models conic arc coefficients, enabling definition of an average shape.
    • Quantification of shape variation within the population of dental arches.
    • Graphical methods effectively depict shape distributions and support inferences about the average shape.

    Conclusions:

    • Conic sections and the Bingham distribution provide a powerful framework for analyzing dental arch shapes.
    • This approach allows for a precise definition of average dental arch morphology and its variations.
    • The methods are validated using a sample of 66 maxillary dental arches.
