Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the mandibular dental and basal arch forms in subjects with normal occlusion and compare them with those of Class III malocclusion using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: CBCT images of 32 normal occlusion (19 males, 13 females; 24.3 years) and 33 Class III malocclusion subjects (20 males, 13 females, 22.2 years) were selected. Facial axis and root center points were identified from the left to right mandibular first molars. Distances between the facial axis and root center points for each tooth were calculated, and 4 linear and 2 ratio variables were measured and calculated for each arch form. The variables were compared between groups by independent t-test. Pearson correlation coefficient was applied to assess the relationships between dental and basal variables within each group. Results: The mandibular dental and basal intercanine widths were significantly greater in the Class III group than in normal occlusion subjects (p < 0.05). The dental and basal intercanine widths as well as the dental and basal intermolar widths were strongly correlated in normal occlusion and moderately correlated in Class III malocclusion. Conclusions: The dental arch form demon strated a strong positive correlation with the basal arch form in the normal occlusion group and moderate correlation in the Class III malocclusion group. These results might be helpful for clinicians to have a better understanding of the importance of basal arch form in the alveolar bone.

Objective: The purposes of this study were to evaluate the relationship between the dental and basal arch forms; to analyze their differences in the tapered, ovoid, and square arch forms in normal occlusion by using three-dimensional (3D) virtual models; and to test the hypothesis that the overjet and maxillomandibular basal arch width difference have a significantly positive correlation. Methods: Seventy-seven normal occlusion plaster casts were examined by 3D scanning. Facial axis (FA) and WALA points were digitized using the Rapidform 2006 software. The dimensions of the dental and basal arches and the overjet were measured. The samples were classified into 3 groups according to arch forms: tapered (n = 20), ovoid (n = 20), and square (n = 37). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the dental and basal arch dimensions. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the intercanine as well as the intermolar widths at the FA and WALA points were calculated. Results: With regard to the basal arch dimensions, the tapered arch form showed a larger mandibular intermolar depth than the ovoid. Strong correlations were noted between the basal and dental intermolar widths in both the upper and lower arches (r = 0.83 and 0.85, respectively). Moderate correlation was found between the upper and lower intercanine widths (r = 0.65 and 0.48, respectively). Conclusions: The 3 dental arch form groups differed only in some dimensions of the skeletal arch. Moderate correlations were found between the basal and dental intercanine widths. These findings suggest that the basal arch may not be a principle factor in determining the dental arch form.

As a factor of dentistry, the form of the tooth especially the size plays an important part. And in orthodontics the relation between the tooth size, arch length and the basal arch is regarded important, and it is closely related to the extraction and retension probolem in treatment planning. The auther's study of the mesio-distal crown diameters of permanent teeth, width and length of the dental arch and basal arch from the cast of 50 men and 53 women who could be measured clerly, among 102 men and 107 women regarded as the normal occlusion showed the followings. 1. Table 1 and table 2 showed the measurement of the mesio-distal maximum width of the permanent teeth, width and length of the dental arch and basal arch of the upper and lower dentitions. 2. Men's mesio-distal width of the teeth, arch length and arch width of the upper and the lower dentition, basal arch width and basal arch length are larger than those of wonen's 3. We compared the Koreans with the American white. Upper central incisors, upper first molars and lower second premolars of the latter were larger than those of the former. And the Koreans's rest tooth of the rest were comparatively larger.

치열궁내의 공간 부조화를 단순히 가용 arch perimeter에 대한 tooth material의 총합의 차이만으로 예측하는 것은 치아의 이동을 단지 평면적으로만 해석한 것인 반면, 실제로 치아는 치료에 의해 3차원적으로 움직이게 되어 치열궁 형태와 curve of Spee의 정도 그리고 치축 각도와 경사에도 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구는 교정환자의 치료전 모형분석시 치열궁내 공간 부조화를 보다 분석적으로 평가하기 위해 소구치 발치 후 arch perimeter의 감소와 전치부의 전후방적인 이동량간의 관계를 알아보고 아울러 curve of Spee와 기저골내 기준평면에 대한 전치부의 치축 각도 그리고 전치부 총생등이 어떤 영향을 미치는 지에 대해 고찰해 보고자 한다. 연세대학교 치과대학병원 교정과에 내원하여 교정치료를 받은 환자 중 Angle씨 제 I급 부정교합이며 4개의 제 1소구치를 발거한 양악 전돌자로서 치아에 형태학적 변이 및 보철물을 갖지 않은 자, 치아수에 이상이 없는 자, 교모나 이소맹출치를 갖지 않은 자, 견치 및 대구치가 Angle씨 제 I급 교합관계를 가지며 3m이상의 치아밀집을 갖지 않은 자를 대상으로 하여 치아모형 분석 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 견치간 폭경이 유지될 경우, 제 1소구치 발거 후 하악 중절치가 후방이동 될 수 있는 공간의 양은 소구치 발거 공간의 크기보다 크게 나타났으며, 그 차이는 1mm보다 작았다. 이때 치열궁의 형태가 전방으로 좁아질수록 그 차이가 증가하였다. 2. 견치간 폭경이 구치부의 폭경에 일치되게 확장될 경우 견치간 폭경이 유지될 때보다 3mm내외의 중절치의 후방이 동이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 3. 중절치의 후방이동시 치체이동과 경사이동에서 가능한 절연의 전후방적인 차이가 미세하게 나타났다. 4. 견치간 폭경을 유지하면서 전치부 분절내 총생을 해소할 경우, 처음의 전치부 분절의 장경이 클수록 중절치의 전방 이동량이 증가하였다. 5. Curve of Spee를 leveling할 경우, arch perimeter의 증가량은 Curve of Spee의 최대 길이의 1/2보다 적게 나타났다.
