          ABSTRACT

          Regards and Tribute: Late Dr Narender Hasija was a mentor and visionary in the light of knowledge and experience. We pay our regards with deepest gratitude to the departed soul to rest in peace.

          Bolton’s ratios help in estimating overbite, overjet relationships, the effects of contemplated extractions on posterior occlusion, incisor relationships and identification of occlusal misfit produced by tooth size discrepancies.

          Aim: To determine any difference in tooth size discrepancy in anterior as well as overall ratio in different malocclusions and comparison with Bolton’s study.

          Materials and methods: After measuring the teeth on all 100 patients, Bolton’s analysis was performed. Results were compared with Bolton’s means and standard deviations. The results were also subjected to statistical analysis. Results show that the mean and standard deviations of ideal occlusion cases are comparable with those Bolton but, when the mean and standard deviation of malocclusion groups are compared with those of Bolton, the values of standard deviation are higher, though the mean is comparable.

            Tooth size discrepancies and arch parameters among different malocclusions in a Jordanian sample.

            The objectives of this study were to determine the mean mesiodistal tooth width of the dentition, Bolton anterior and overall ratios, arch length, and arch width in the different malocclusions in a Jordanian sample. The mesiodistal tooth width, arch width, and length were measured on a total of 140 orthodontic models of school students aged 13-15 years of different occlusal relationships (Class I, Class II division 1, Class II division 2, and Class III malocclusions). Anterior and overall Bolton ratios were calculated. The mean and standard deviation were calculated. Student's t-test and analysis of variance were used for the statistical analysis. The results show that (1) females have smaller teeth than males; (2) Class III malocclusion showed larger teeth than the rest of the other occlusal categories; (3) no statistically significant differences were found in Bolton ratios between the different malocclusions; (4) Class II division 1 showed the narrowest maxillary arch compared with the other types of malocclusion; (5) the mandibular intercanine width was significantly larger in Class III group than in Class II division 1 and Class II division 2 groups; (6) the maxillary arch was significantly longer in Class II division 1 than in Class II division 2; and (7) the mandibular arch of both Class II categories was significantly shorter than Class III malocclusion group. In conclusion, tooth size differences were found between right and left sides, between females and males, and between the different malocclusions. Arch width and length also showed differences among the different malocclusions.

              The occurrence of tooth size discrepancies among different malocclusion groups.

              This study consisted of 109 patients with varying malocclusions (Class I; Class II, Division 1; Division 2; and Class II surgery) who were treated orthodontically. Tooth size analyses were performed on the pretreatment models of these patients and mesial-distal tooth size ratios were measured as described by Bolton. The incidence of mesial-distal tooth size discrepancies in the malocclusion groups was analyzed and compared with Bolton's means and standard deviations. The results showed no difference in the incidence of tooth size discrepancies from one malocclusion group to another. When the sample was taken as a whole, there was no significant difference in the mean of the mesial-distal tooth size ratios as computed in the present study and compared to Bolton's mean. There were, however, higher standard deviations seen in the present study compared with Bolton's study. Even though there was no significant difference in the incidence of tooth size discrepancies among malocclusion groups, there was a large number of tooth size discrepancies in each group. Therefore it is suggested that Bolton's tooth size analysis be performed before initiation of orthodontic treatment.
