MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE WIDTH OF THE DENTAL ARCHES OF THE UPPER JAW IN PEOPLE WITH THE DOLICHOMORPHIC FORM OF THE SKULL DEPENDING ON THEIR GENDER

Abstract

Objective is to study the variability of the parameters of the width of the dental arches of the upper jaw in physiological occlusion of permanent teeth in people with dolichomorphic form of the skull. Materials and methods. The morphometric parameters of the width of the dental arches of the upper jaw have been studied. The work was performed on 28 preparations of skulls of people of both sexes of mature age with physiological occlusion of teeth and dolichomorphic form of the skull. The width of the dental arch was measured between canines, premolars and molars. Results. The maximal value of the width of the dental arch in both men and women was observed in the region of the second molars from the vestibular side. The minimal value of the parameters studied was detected in the region of canines on the palatal side. The exponent of the width of both the vestibular and palatal dental arches increased from the level of the canines to the molar level. In the molar region, this increase was not so pronounced. Conclusions. The study of the dental arch width parameters performed in men and women showed no significant general regularities of their structure.
