Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to establish the mesiodistal tooth width of permanent teeth among South Jordanian population and to compare it with previous studies in the region. 621 patients were examined, 543 patients fullfilled the requirement used in the studies with average age 14.010.97. Alginate impressions were taken for all patients and were poured in the same day by an orthodontic technician. All teeth were measured by electronic digital caliper and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Upper maxillary permanent lateral incisors and mandibular permanent central incisors showed greatest variations in the mesiodistal width. On the contrary permanent canines and maxillary 1st premolars showed most stability in the mesiodistal width. This study will help in orthodontic research, diagnosis and analysis of spaces during orthodontic assessment in addition to the uses in anthropology and forensic dentistry.
