5. TITLE OF TOPIC
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARCH WIDTH AND VERTICAL FACIAL
MORPHOLOGY IN UNTREATED ADULTS OF KERALA POPULATION
6. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED STUDY:
Another study was conducted to correlate the amount of tooth material and arch
circumference present. It was seen that tooth material was independent of growth pattern but
arch circumference decreased in the high plane group as compared to the low plane group.
Hence it was concluded that high plane syndrome patients have a higher tendency of
crowding5.
Buccolingual inclination of teeth in subjects with different skeletal patterns was studied. It
was concluded from the study that the maxillary molars and premolars of subjects with a
vertical pattern had a statistically significant greater buccal inclination than those in subjects
with a horizontal pattern1.
Another study was conducted to investigate maxillary and mandibular transverse growth in
untreated female subjects with low, average, and high mandibular plane angles
longitudinally from ages 6 to 18. It was seen that maxillary width was more in subjects with
low and average mandibular plane angle and its growth stopped in all the 3 groups at the age
of 14 years. The mandibular width was also more in subjects with decreased MP-SN angle
but mandibular width kept on increasing for four more years in subjects with average and
low MP-SN angles7.
A study was done to determine whether Kuwaiti adolescents differ from Caucasian
adolescents with respect to their cephalometric values which included anterior and posterior
facial height. The results show that there were significant differences between the Kuwaiti
population and the Caucasian population for the majority of the variables and vertical
growth pattern is more common in Kuwaiti population with decreased posterior height3.
A study was conducted to study if a relationship exists between dental arch width and the
vertical facial pattern determined by the steepness of the mandibular plane and to examine
the differences in dental arch widths between male and female untreated adults. The results
showed that male arch widths were significantly larger than those of females. For both males
and females, there was a trend that as MP SN angle increased, arch width decreased. It was
concluded that dental arch width is associated with gender and facial vertical morphology2.
1. The purpose of the present study is to investigate if dental arch widths are correlated
with vertical facial types ( Jarabaks ratio).
2. To find the standard norms and relationship between arch width and facial pattern for
the population under study.
7. MATERIALS AND METHODS
7.1 SOURCE OF THE DATA
The study is set up in A.B. Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Deralakatte,
Mangalore. This study will include 150 untreated adults of Kerala population aged between
18 to 48 years of age and having angle class I malocclusion visiting the Department Of
Orthodontics And Dentofacial Orthopaedics and the subjects will be included in the study as
per the inclusion and exclusion criterias.
INCLUSION CRITERIA
a) Angle class I malocclusion
b) Full dentition except third molars
c) Pre-treatment lateral cephalogram and maxillary and mandibular dental casts
available.
d) Individuals between 18-48 years of age
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
Lateral Cephalograms will be taken and study casts will be made for each individual using a
standardized and specified technique. Cephalograms will be traced onto .003 inch acetate
paper.
CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS
For each subject the following two cephalometric parameters will be measured and Jarabaks
ratio will be calculated
a) Anterior facial height ( AFH , Na-Me)
b) Posterior facial height ( PFH, S-Go )
a) Intercanine width ( from cusp tip of canine of the right side to canine cusp tip of the
left side)
b) Intermolar width ( from Mesiobuccal cusp tip of the first molars of the right side to
the mesiobuccal cusp tip of the molar of the left side )
7.3 DOES THE STUDY REQUIRE ANY INVESTIGATIONS OR INTERVENTIONS
TO BE CONDUCTED IN PATIENTS OR OTHER HUMANS OR ANIMALS
Yes the study requires the informed consent of the individual / parents / guardian for study
models and lateral cephalometric radiographs.
