New indexes of tooth size ratio and dental arch width in men and women
Abstract
Several indices, including the Bolton and Tonn indexes, are utilized in the anthropometry of teeth and dentition for diagnosing individuals with maxillofacial anomalies. Only a small percentage of patients – including those who have had orthodontic treatment – have had these indices computed. Because of this, it is thought that the ratios of the total teeth sizes should precisely match the specified ratio. We demonstrate that these ratios can vary significantly more for patients with normal occlusion than they have for prior research. Moreover, there is a minor difference between the men's and women's indexes. As a result, intervals that fall within which the index can be regarded as normal are suggested to replace the single value for the indexes.
