Abstract
|
|
|
This study was done to estimate arch forms and dimensions at the bracket level where archwire was placed in Angle´s Class I first premolars extraction cases. 60 post-treatment dental casts which had attained good orthodontic treatment results were used in this study. Many landmarks and linear measurement items to describe arch forms and dimensions were determined and measured. With a computer system and digitizer, arch forms were described and linear measurement items were statistically analysed.
The following results were obtained.
1. The average labial and lingual arch forms at the bracket level were obtained.
2. Arch forms were expressed by parabolic equations and coefficients of determination. 3. Arch widths were larger in male than in female.
4. There were statistical significances in upper intercanine width, upper interfirst molar width, upper intersecond molar height, lower intercanine width and lower interfirst molar width between both sexes (p<0.05, p<0.01). 5. Interfirst molar width differences between maxilla and mandible were 6.43mm in male and 6.05mm in female.
