ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate whether the changes of anterior arch dimension have an impact on the precision of Bolton analysis.

Methods:

A mathematic-geometric model was used to evaluate the data.

Results:

The ideal anterior tooth size ratio may need adjustments, depending on the dimensions in radii of the upper and lower anterior dental arches. The ideal ratio is lower for dental arches with a high anterior curvature. There is a deficiency in the upper arch, a flatter anterior segment may compensate for some of the discrepancy and vice versa.

Conclusion:

An ideal Bolton value may not guarantee an ideal occlusion. Anterior tooth size ratio is not precise in predicting the anterior inter relationship post-treatment.
