Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, , language: English, abstract: AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To determine various tooth form, arch form and palatal form with gender identification between males and females of Saudi population. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Irreversible hydrocolloid impressions were made of the maxillary teeth of 100 dentate male and female subjects to obtain study casts. A standardized procedure was adopted to photograph the maxillary dental arches and the maxillary central incisors on the study casts taken from each subject. The outline form of tooth, arch and palatal form were determined using a standardized method. The average of six prosthodontist’s evaluation were considered who classified the outline tracings visually. The statistical analysis was done using Chi-Square and results tabulated. RESULTS: The predominant tooth is combination form in males and ovoid form in females, the predominant arch is ovoid form in males and square form in females and the predominant palatal form are both U and V shaped in males and U shaped in females. CONCLUSION: Except for the tooth form there was significant difference with arch and palatal form among males and females of the population group studied. The determined tooth, arch and palatal forms are useful in selection and arrangement of artificial teeth among Saudi edentulous population group. Generalising from the study is questionable as the sample size is small. Further studies should be conducted in a larger sample to conform the study results.
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, , language: English, abstract: The study delves into the intricate world of dental arch forms and dimensions within the Saudi population, shedding light on the diverse characteristics that shape the oral landscape of both men and women. The research employs a descriptive cross-sectional survey, utilizing alginate impressions and a standardized methodology to capture the nuances of maxillary and mandibular arches in 100 dentate subjects. With a keen focus on arch forms and dimensions, the paper aims to unravel the predominant patterns within the Saudi population. The findings reveal intriguing details, such as the prevalence of square arches in males and a mix of ovoid and square arches in females for the maxillary dental arch. On the mandibular front, square arches take the lead in both genders. The gender lens further highlights significant differences in arch dimensions, with males exhibiting increased measurements compared to females. However, exceptions exist in maxillary anterior and molar arch lengths. Statistical analyses, including Chi-Square test, Student 't' test, and Pearson's correlation test, contribute rigor to the exploration. As the narrative unfolds, the paper not only provides a panoramic view of arch forms but also underscores their clinical implications. The absence of significant gender differences in arch forms prompts considerations for prosthetic rehabilitation among Saudi edentulous patients. The determined arch dimensions emerge as valuable tools in the selection of accurate stock impression trays and the precise arrangement of artificial teeth.
