BOLTON’S NORMS FOR HYDERABAD POPULATION

Hari Prasad Rao G, Sharmila

Success of Orthodontic treatment mainly depends on correct diagnosis. First important diagnostic aid is correct assessment of inter arch and intra arch tooth relationship. Inter arch tooth ratio analysis (Bolton’s) is one which is important to build normal overjet and normal occlusion. For this analysis most of them used GV BLACK’s tables for sake of mesio-distal dimensions of teeth. The present study aimed at establishing individual tooth size for Hyderabad population and reliability of Bolton’s ratio to this particular population and to determine sexual dimorphism.
