This craniofacial area of the body is subject to changes more particularly during growth and development period.
Facial development occurs mainly between the fourth and eight weeks of gestation. Five facial primordia appear
early in the fourth week around the large primordial stomodeum, the single frontonasal prominence, the combined
maxillary prominences and the paired mandibular prominences, the five facial prominences are dynamic focuses of
growth in the fundamental mesenchyma. The average width of the face has been found to increase slightly during
adulthood. Genetics and environmental factors are responsible for the variations in craniofacial dimensions and
heredity may be responsible for the phenotypic expression of the biological variability observed in the craniofacial
complex . The sort of head and face relies upon numerous variables, for example, ethnicity, hereditary impact,
traditions, nutrition, certain pathology conditions, condition and atmosphere. It is now known that secular change is
not restricted to stature, but encompasses the axial, appendicular and facial skeletons. In short secular change is not
ceasing , as each population faces its own unique combination of evolutionary force.
India is a country with such an intricate and shifted ethnic arrangement of its population. Indian population is
characterized based on anthropometric information gathered from different population.
Human face curve has been an interesting topic for anatomists, anthropologists, forensic scientist, etc. The facial
index of the North Indian population is mainly Leptoprosopic as compared to other zones from where it mainly
falls under mesoprosopic class.
Comparison of arch width and palatal depth in various facial patterns is important in deciding the treatment plan. In
this study we are trying to findout the comparison between arch width and palatal depth in maxillary arch and arch
width in mandibular arch with various facial patterns in nonorthodontic adult population.
The three facial patterns namely Leptoproscopic ,Euryproscopic, and Mesoproscopic given by martin and sellar are
supposed to have a correlation with the arch width of maxillary and mandibular dentition.The study would provide
an exact comparison between dental arch width in three types of facial pattern and palatal depths with respect to
the three facial patterns.
This examination were to research of comparison between dental arch width and palatal depth and facial pattern
characterized by the steepness of the mandibular plane ,and to inspect the distinction in dental arch width among
male and female untreated aduts.
The comparison of dental arch width and palatal depth of maxillary arch and arch width in mandibular arch width
various patterns is important in deciding the treatment plan whether to go for extraction or choosing a non
extraction treatment.
This study aimed to measure the palatal depth, maxillary and mandibular arch widths and circumferences in three
groups: class I open bite, class I deep bite and class I normal occlusion, to compare the results among the three
groups and to find the correlation coefficient among the different variables in each group separately to identify any
possible correlation among palatal depth, maxillary and mandibular arch widths and arches circumferences.The
palatal depth was the highest in open bite followed by normal and then in deep bite. The intermaxillary widths
were the highest in normal occlusion followed by deep bite and then open bite. No significant differences were
seen in the mandibular widths among the three groups. Correlation coefficient among variables expressed
considerable variation.
- The palatal depth was the highest in open bite followed by normal and then in deep bite.
- The intermaxillary widths were the highest in normal occlusion followed by deep bite and then
open bite. No significant differences were seen in the mandibular widths among the three groups.
- Correlation coefficient among variables expressed considerable degrees of variation.
Our aim was to build up a particular system and to prepare in examining the progressions on successive dental
throws, with the end goal to start a Longitudinal Growth Study. The particular changes and the evaluated
separations that expanded and diminished amid various age arranges in kids that have not been orthodontically
affected exhibit the gigantic capability of characteristic development, advancement and tooth arrangement. In the
greater part of the cases bring down incisors emit to some degree lingually and in a somewhat unpredictable
position, however have the propensity and begin to adjust soon. Front curve length and profundity builds due to the
more labial ejection position of the lasting incisors. Back curve length as a rule diminishes due to the breathing
space, with the exception of the emission of upper perpetual canines, when it marginally increments. Intercanine
width increments amid the ejection of perpetual incisors, at that point can diminish toward the start of canines
emission and increments later once more. The dimensional contrast among perpetual and essential teeth and the
estimation of spaces between essential teeth are imperative parameters in space examination at various stages.

The goals of the examination were to assess the relationship between facial morphology and overjet in untreated
preadolescent Class II patients, and to recognize the craniofacial qualities of Class II patients with ordinary,
expanded, and extraordinary overjet in an example of the Syrian populace. An affiliation was found between the
overjet esteem and the propensity toward a hyperdivergent design. As the overjet expanded, (S-N∶Go-Me, SPP∶Go-
Me, Sum [Björk], Y-pivot point, and N Go Me) tended to increment and (S-Go/N-Me, Ar-Go, and N-Me) watched
out for decrease.This affiliation was more grounded in females than in guys. Subjects with an ordinary overjet
demonstrated an even facial example and a back tendency of the maxilla, though expanded overjet subjects showed
an impartial facial example with proclined bring down incisors. Conversely, subjects with an outrageous overjet
had a vertical facial example, front tendency of the maxilla, and a short mandibular ramus.The mandible was
retrognathic and the maxilla was ordinarily situated in the three gatherings.

The present study investigated the role of masseter in the craniofacial growth and maxillary dental arch width.
Masseter muscle thickness was used as an indicator of its activity.
a. The masseter muscle thickness is more in males than females, but does not exhibit significant difference between
Class I and Class II groups.
b. An increase in masseter thickness is accompanied by a corresponding increase in the maxillary dental arch
width.
c. Increase in masseter muscle thickness causes more horizontal growth of the face and the resulting facial type
will be brachyfacial

This examination assesses the measurement qualities of jaw and the bury curves connection in youngsters with
decrease of nasopharynx space by hypertrophyof the pharyngeal tonsils in the blended dentition stage.It was not
discovered relationship among the isthmus esteems And variable dissected. Intra curves estimations introduced
comparative Behavior among them, demonstrating their severity.Intra Arches and entomb curves broke down
indicated esteems like them announced in the writing, proving the impact of nasopharynx space decrease on the
morphology of arcade and on impediment
Harmonious facial esthetics and optimal functional occlusion have long been recognized as the two most important
goals of orthodontic treatment. (Bishara 2001, Gallão et al 2013) The standard or orthognathic face, exhibits a
harmonious relationship between the following parts (Graber and Vanarsdall, 2000): The facial structure and the
cranium.The mandible and the maxilla.The maxilla and the maxillary dentition. The mandible and the mandibular
dentition.The maxillary and mandibular dentition.The soft tissue profile and the underlying hard tissue structure
A cross-sectional investigation was directed to think about maxillary curve and head estimations between ethnic
Malays and Chinese. Mean ages were 23.5 years (Malay) and 21.1 years (Chinese), and the two gatherings were
brachycephalic with the cephalic record 86.4 for Malay and 85.9 for Chinese which isn't fundamentally unique
between them.Means of front archwidth (AAW), back curve width (PAW) and curve lengthwere essentially
extraordinary between two gatherings. AAWand PAW were fundamentally not quite the same as their relating files
for Malays however not for Chinese.The Pont's and Korkhaus' Indices couldn't be connected to theMalays yet
respectably to the Chinese.The goals of this examination were to analyze dental curve lists, cephalometric
estimations between ethnic Malays and Chinese; and to watch the relationship, and to approve the dental curve
records in the investigation populace.

The target of this investigation was to depict transversal measurements of the dental curves, chomp power and
facial record. The contrasts between gatherings were factually noteworthy for all factors with the exception of
Facial stature. Amazon Ticuna indian ethnia has a noteworthy higher chomp drive, higher dental curve transversal
width and higher bizygomatic width than the other two ethnic gatherings considered. Mestizo ethniapresents the
most reduced dental curve size and nibble constrain, and thehighest facial stature. Afro descendent ethnia
introduced middle of the road results for nibble constrain, dental curve transversal width and bizygomatic width.
For all factors investigated, a higher relationship existed inside gatherings (dental curve size,biting power,
bizygomatic width and face tallness) while connections between's gatherings of factors came about moderate.

The reason for this investigation was to assess and analyze the dental curve measurements in precisely repaired
one-sided congenital fissure and sense of taste kids as indicated by Oslo convention with those of sound
coordinating non-separated youngsters in Egypt. . Mean maxillary arch depth and inter-canine arch width were
significantly smaller in UCLP children than in non-cleft children in the age groups 6-7 and 8-9 years. Mean inter-
molar arch width was not significantly narrower in UCLP children from that in non-cleft children. Mean
mandibular arch dimensions of UCLP children did not differ significantly from those of non-cleft children
Children with UCLP, aging 6-9 years old, revealed significant reduction in mean maxillary arch dimensions when
compared to healthy matching non-cleft children except for inter-molar arch width which showed no significant
reduce.The present study aims at filling this gap by highlighting the main characteristics of dental arch dimensions
in surgically repaired UCLP children by the Oslo surgical protocol and compares them with those of healthy,
matching, non-cleft children to better meet the needs of this vulnerable group of children.

Adjustment of profound nibble is urgent for upkeep of dental hard and delicate tissue structures and for aversion of
temporomandibular joint issue. Investigation of fundamental skeletal and dental components is basic for proficient
and individualized treatment arranging. To date etiological components of dental and skeletal profound nibble have
not been investigated in Pakistani orthodontic patients. The targets of this investigation were to investigate
frequencies of dental and skeletal etiological factors in profound chomp patients and to decide relationships among
dental and skeletal etiological components of profound nibble. Decreased gonial edge is most as often as possible
seen skeletal factor, meaning the significance of angulation and development of ramus being developed of
profound chomp. Profound bend of Spee is most every now and again observed dental etiological part in profound
chomp subjects, consequently meaning the significance of barging in the lower foremost teeth. Diminished gonial
point is the most much of the time seen skeletal factor, sanctioning the effect of angulation of mandibular ramus
and development in expanding profound nibble. A profound Spee's bend is most as often as possible seen dental
parameter, confirming the importance of interruption of lower foremost teeth.Retroclination of maxillary and
mandibular incisors and expanded mandibular incisor length were among slightest successive components.

This examination intended to discover the relationship between the facial structures and the dental curve shapes in
an example of Iraqi grown-ups with ordinary dental, sagittal and transverse jaws relations There was no critical
relationship between the facial and dental curve frames aside from in females between the mandibular dental curve
and face.The consequences of the present investigation uncovered a non-noteworthy relationship between dental
curve structures and facial structures, this comes in concurrence with Ahmed and Ali, Paranhos et al and Nayar et
al. but in females where there was high critical relationship between mandibular dental curve frame and facial
shape. As end; there is no huge relationship between the facial and dental curves frames.

this study.
The study samples consist of 150 patients between the ages 18 to 35 years, and divided into three groups
based on facial patterns:
LEPTOPROSCOPIC,
EURYPROSCOPIC
MESOPROSCOPIC, given by Martin and Saller are supposed to have a correlation with the arch width of
maxillary and mandibular dentition. The study would provide an exact comparison between the dental arch
widths in three types of facial patterns and palatal depths with respect to the three facial patterns.Each
groups consisted of 50 patients the sample size calculated was done and for a power of 90% the total sample
size determined was 150patients.
Exclusion criteria included previous orthodontic treatment, edentulous spaces, history of trauma,
significant cuspal wear, extensive restorations or prosthetics, anterior and posterior cross-bites, and severe
crowding (>9 mm) or spacing (>9 mm).
Dental cast measurements were performed using a digital calliper accurate to 0.01 mm. The following
maxillary and mandibular dimensions were measured
1. Intercanine width (buccal cusp tip and widest labial aspect),
2. First and second interpremolar widths (buccal cusp tip and widest labial aspect),
3. First intermolar widths (mesiobuccal cusp, central fossa, widest buccal, and narrowest lingual aspect),
4. Tooth size — arch length discrepancy was calculated by first determining the arch length available
The selected patients based on three facial patterns based on the facial index and cephalic index.
Facial Index =Length of the face/ Bizygomatic face width × 100.
The measurements were made using with STRAIGHT CALIPER & BOW CALIPER.
Study dental casts were made from alginate impressions obtained with sterile trays of dental occlusion in
habitual maximum intercuspation. These casts were used to obtain measurements of the upper and lower
dental arches

DISCUSSION
Facial patterns is an important element of orthodontic assessment. It is an essential criterion for each orthodontist
to understand the relationship between in different facial patterns and dental arch width and palatal depth.
In This study aims to evaluate and compare dental arch widths, palatal depth in different facial patterns in
untreated South Indian adult males and females.
In this study, subjects without previous orthodontic treatment were only included because prior treatment might
have influenced the facial patterns of the development of the dentoalveolar process or the dimensions of mid-face
structures. Additionally, care was taken that all samples were of south Indian origin to avoid any major ethnic
difference in craniofacial morphology. In order to have a greater distribution of the facial patterns, 150samples
were taken and divided into three groups: Group I-Leptoproscopic, Group II Euryproscopic ,Group III
Mesoproscopic according to Martin and Sellar.. Assessment of Leptoproscopic ,euryproscopic ,mesoproscopic
allows estimation of its relation to dental arch width, palatal depth .
For each patient, leptoproscopic ,euryproscopic , mesoproscopic measurements were taken from facial index and
cephalic index acoording to Martin and Sellar and study models were taken and confirmed that none of the
exclusion criteria were present.
The measurements to assess in Group I Leptoproscopic facial pattern were done from the patients and study
models were used to measure the dental arch width, palatal depth in both upper and lower arches.
The measurements to assess in Group II Euryproscopic facial pattern were done from the patients and study
models were used to measure the dental arch width, palatal depth in both upper and lower arches.
The measurements to assess in Group III Mesoproscopic facial pattern were done from the patients and study
models were used to measure the dental arch width ,palatal depth in both upper and lower arches.
Ten dental arch width measurements were taken from both maxillary and mandibular study models (inter-canine
cusp tip and most buccal, first premolar buccal cusp tip and most buccal, second premolar buccal cusp tip and most
buccal, first molar mesiobuccal cusp tip, most buccal, and most lingual/palatal). These measurements have been
taken as a standard for dental arch width , Palatal depth analysis by many investigators.
In order to exclude intra examiner error, Leptoproscopic ,Euryproscopic , Mesoproscopic 57 males and 64 females
were selected randomly .
The results showed that, in maxillary and mandibular arches, there was a statistically significant inverse Group I
leptoproscopic, Group II Euryproscopic , Group III Mesoproscopic and dental arch widths, palatal depth among
the maxillary canines, first premolars, and first molars in male and female samples
In our study a total no. of 150 patients were taken,
Group I Leptoproscopic comprised of total 50 patients out of which 18 males and 32 females.
Group II Euryproscopic comprised of total 50 patients out of which 23 males and 27 females.
Group III Mesoproscopic comprised of total 50 patients out of which 16 males and 34 females.
FACIAL INDEX
Facial index of all three groups were calculated.Mean of Group I, Group II , Group III is 56.20, 60.11 , 60.17
respectively.
In Group I showed statistically siginificant when compared to both Group II and Group III were significant.
In Group II showed statistically significant when compared with Group I were significant.
In Group II showed statistically significant when compared with Group III were non significant.
In Group III showed statistically significant when compared with Group I were significant.
In Group III showed statistically significant when compared with Group II were non significant.
CEPHALIC INDEX
Group I , Group II , Group III shows 58.14 , 57.28 , 58.12 respectively
Multiple comparison of cephalic index between the different groups statistically siginificant.
In Group I showed statistically siginificant when compared to both Group II and Group III were Non significant.
In Group II showed statistically significant when compared to both Group I and GroupIII were non significant.
In Group III showed statistically significant when compared to both Group I and Group II were Non significant.
MAXILLARY INTERCANINE
Group I , Group II , Group III shows 35.67 , 35.14 , 36.64 respectively
Multiple comparison of MAXILLARY INTERCANINE between the different groups statistically siginificant.
In Group I showed statistically siginificant when compared to both Group II and Group III were Non significant.
In Group II showed statistically significant when compared with Group I were non significant.
In Group II showed statistically siginificant when compared with Group III were significant.
In Group III showed statistically significant when compared with Group I were Non significant.
In Group III showed statistically significant when compared with Group II were significant.
To aim of this study was to evaluate and compare dental arch width , palatal depth in different facial patterns on
untreated adults.
Compare the dental arch width and palatal depth of maxillary arch and arch width in mandibular arch with various
facial patterns is important in deciding the treatment plan whether to go for extraction or choosing a non extraction
treatment
FACIAL INDEX
In Group I showed statistically siginificant when compared to both Group II and Group III treatment plan either all
four extraction or non extraction in both maxillary and mandibular arches.
In Group II showed statistically significant when compared with Group I decreased in maxillary and mandibular
arches in extraction group and increased in the non extraction group.
In Group II showed statistically significant when compared with Group III increased in maxillary and mandibular
arches in the non extraction group and decreased in the extraction group
In Group III showed statistically significant when compared with Group I decreased in maxillary and mandibular
arches in extraction group and increased in the non extraction group
In Group II showed statistically significant when compared with Group II increased in maxillary and mandibular
arches in extraction group and increased in the non extraction group.
CEPHALIC INDEX
In Group I showed statistically siginificant when compared to both Group II and Group III treatment plan either all
four extraction or non extraction in both maxillary and mandibular arches.
In Group II showed statistically siginificant when compared to both Group I and Group III treatment plan either all
four extraction or non extraction in both maxillary and mandibular arches.
In Group III showed statistically siginificant when compared to both Group I and Group II treatment plan either all
four extraction or non extraction in both maxillary and mandibular arches.
The relationship was found to be an inverse relation in both males and females of untreated South Indian adults, ,
the dental arch widths tended to decrease.A generalized prediction was done for the dental arch widths
The dental arch widths of males were found to be wider than females among untreated South Indian adults.
Since dental arch width is associated with Leptoproscopic , Euryproscopic , Mesoproscopic facial patterns
and population groups,
