Hominoid arcade shape: Pattern and magnitude of covariation
2017, Journal of Human EvolutionCitation Excerpt :The large lower canines are accommodated in a diastema between the upper lateral incisor and the enlarged upper canine; in the mandible, the upper canine is accommodated between the lower canine and the lower premolars (Angle, 1899; Hellman, 1942), where canine size can vary strongly inter- and intraspecifically (Almquist, 1974; Leutenegger and Kelly, 1977; Oxnard et al., 1985; Leutenegger and Shell, 1987; Plavcan and van Schaik, 1992; Plavcan, 1993; Kelley, 1995). Modern human dental arcades are usually referred to as being parabolic (Angle, 1899; Broomell, 1902; Le Gros Clark, 1950; Genet-Varcin, 1969), elliptic (Black, 1902; Garn, 1968; Currier, 1969; Brader, 1972) or catenary (MacConaill and Scher, 1949; Scott, 1957; Engel, 1979), with upper and lower arcades having slightly different shapes (Hellman, 1919; Engel, 1979). Incisors and canines are of almost equal size (Schwartz, 1995) and their occlusal surfaces are on the same level as the postcanine dentition.
Evaluation of the fit of preformed nickel titanium arch wires on normal occlusion dental arches
2016, Saudi Dental JournalCitation Excerpt :In the present study, the upper and lower wires were evaluated quantitatively by measuring the difference between the dental arches and the wires in terms of the MAE. Engel (1979) tested the fits of nine generated arch forms on a sample of upper and lower arches. Fit was considered acceptable if the error did not exceed 1 mm per tooth.
Changes in dental and basal archforms with preformed and customized archwires during orthodontic treatment
2012, Orthodontic WavesCitation Excerpt :Researchers and clinicians have attempted to determine and classify appropriate dental arch forms. With the advent of the pre-adjusted straight wire appliance, attempts have been made to design and commercialize archwires with ideal arch form [1–6]. Classification of arch forms has involved various geometric and complex mathematical formulas [2,7–10].
Evaluation of distances between the mandibular teeth and the alveolar process in Brazilians with normal occlusion
2010, American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial OrthopedicsA new concept of mandibular dental arch forms with normal occlusion
2008, American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial OrthopedicsCitation Excerpt :This form was observed in 14 curve segments (11% of our sample), differing from the incidence values found by Raberin et al22 (23.7%) and Telles23 (16.25%). Form F was observed in 16 curve segments, or 13% of the total sample; this is an example of a catenary curve described by other authors.10,12,13,20-24,26 The results of studies by Ricketts,21 Telles,23 Raberin et al,22 and Triviño and Vilella26 showed that this form has medium prevalence (15%, 20%, 18.7%, 24.2%, respectively) in the subjects analyzed.
