RESUMO
It is generally accepted that an important relationship exists between the arch width and vertical facial morphology. The size and form of the dental arches can have considerable implications on or-thodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The objective of this study was to determine relationship between inter canine width and vertical facial morphology in a sample of patients seeking orthodontic treatment. This cross sectional comparative study was conducted at out patients department of Orthodontics, KRL Hospital, Islamabad from 11-03-2010 to 11-09-2010. 100 subjects were included in the study. 100 lateral cephalometric radiographs and dental casts were obtained, and traced. On lateral cephalograph, SN-MP angle was measured. On dental casts inter-canine widths were measured. When comparison was made between Inter-canine width with SN-MP angle, the p-value for all the results was significant with a p value <0.05. It was concluded from this study that there is a statistically significant relationship between inter canine widths and vertical facial morphology
RESUMO
The present investigation was an attempt to study the difference between high and low academic achievers with respect to their emotional problems. It was assumed that high academic achievers would have less emotional problems as compared to the low academic achievers. For the examination of this hypothesis the Human Figure Drawing [HFD] test was administered on 180 children enrolled in 3[rd] and 4[th] grades of a government school of Karachi The academic achievement of the participants was appraised in terms of their class grades of the previous exam given by them. Statistical analysis by computation of "t-test" revealed a significant difference in the emotional problems of high and low academic achievers
