Abstract

Bolton's two main ratios describing the proportional size of upper and lower teeth, could contribute to estimating the excess or deficiency of tooth size necessary to obtain an ideal occlusion. However, the mean Bolton values are not the same among different societies. Determining the prevalence of tooth size deviations from population-specific Bolton indices might help local orthodontists to have a more concise treatment plan. The study aimed to define the prevalence of clinically significant tooth size discrepancies (TSD) in an Iranian population and to evaluate the influence of lateral incisors' size on this discrepancy. This cross-sectional study was conducted on study casts of orthodontic patients attending Imam Reza Dental Clinic from September 2008 to December 2016. The sample comprised of 150 randomly selected pre-treatment study casts (64 males and 86 females from 17 to 28). The mesiodistal diameter of all permanent teeth from the first molar on the right to the first molar on the left was measured using 2 similar digital calipers, and Bolton analysis was calculated. Subjective visual estimation of Bolton discrepancy was also performed. SPSS v18.0, Wilcoxon signed ranks test, Pearson correlation and Receiver Operating ...Continue Reading
