As a factor of dentistry, the form of the tooth especially the size plays an important part. And in orthodontics the relation between the tooth size, arch length and the basal arch is regarded important, and it is closely related to the extraction and retension probolem in treatment planning. The auther's study of the mesio-distal crown diameters of permanent teeth, width and length of the dental arch and basal arch from the cast of 50 men and 53 women who could be measured clerly, among 102 men and 107 women regarded as the normal occlusion showed the followings. 1. Table 1 and table 2 showed the measurement of the mesio-distal maximum width of the permanent teeth, width and length of the dental arch and basal arch of the upper and lower dentitions. 2. Men's mesio-distal width of the teeth, arch length and arch width of the upper and the lower dentition, basal arch width and basal arch length are larger than those of wonen's 3. We compared the Koreans with the American white. Upper central incisors, upper first molars and lower second premolars of the latter were larger than those of the former. And the Koreans's rest tooth of the rest were comparatively larger. |
