The applicability of Bolton's tooth size ratios to Chhattisgarh population in India
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective The present study was undertaken to assess whether Boltons ratio can be applied to Chattisgarhi population and if values obtained are significantly different from that of Boltons established values then to establish Boltons standards for the Chhattisgarhi population and also to determine if sexual dimorphism exists in overall and anterior ratiosStudy Design 120 subjects 60 male and 60 female between 1725 years of age having normal occlusion were selected Boltons anterior and overall ratio was calculated on study models and values obtained were statistically analyzed for coefficient of variation standard deviation and mean values This data was compared with standard Boltons valuesResults The combined anterior and overall ratios of Chhattisgarhi population did not differ significantly from that of Boltons sample however significant sexual dimorphism was noted both in anterior and overall ratios among males and females Conclusion Boltons anterior and overall tooth size ratios can be applied to Chhattisgarhi populationKeywords Bolton ratio Chhattisgarhi population
